Tactical Reserve doesn't work in 3.4?

[alexzhz]

I find that Tactical Reserve always takes no effect in 3.4, even the unit with Tactical Reserve order has enough mobility.


Being attacked by Red PO, my RES unit retreats to the current hex, however, one of my unit which is set to Tactical Reserve doesn't move to the hex which is occupied by Red PO, although it has enough mobility.

I know sometimes it really works, but I don't know why it doesn't work in some certain situations.

tactical reserve moves always in the way of the enemy so that he won't make a breakthrough. What you are looking at is local reserve.

(maybe I'm wrong)

For Reserve movement to work, your defending stack needs to hold the hex for at least one tactical round. If not then, the attacker will occupy it before the reserve unit has a chance to move in.

I believe that reserve movement requires a quality check before the reserve unit is permitted to respond. So, don't expect it to happen automatically.

Also the unit placed in Tactical Reserve needs to have enough movement points left to enter the combat hex
