ok this should be a very basic rule but i am so confused by it
if my unit (A) if feeing and it is charged by another unit (B) what happens
does my unit get to make a flee reaction or do they just stay there and get cut down if caught.
this is because both of these rules make so sence:
i was playing against skaven and he charged my chaos warriors. i won the combat and his unit fleed. as he was close to the table i decided not to persue but they rolled double 1 for there flee roll. when my turn came i realised that my chaos warhound which had come back from rallying a few turns ago although no where near his feeing unit could see them. i therefore declared a charge with them forcing him to make a flee roll and running of the table.
however the other day i was playing vampire counts and my chaos knight lost combat against his gouls (from combat res due to killing my marauders) my knights got away but it was his next turn and he delcared a charge on my knights. i thought i got a flee roll but he was saying the rules state that if ur unit is fleeing then they dont get to make a charge reaction. They just stay there and if caught they r destroyed.
which 1 is right, the 1st one wld be the most obvious rule but i cant find anywhere in the rulebook where it says i get to make a flee reaction but GW does have a habit of hidding these things
thanks for any help
