The Tactical Shift - Combat Rosette

Post by Adam Parker »

In section 26 the combat "Rosette" is shown. 26.2.2 states that the first two hexes attacked from each generates a +2 Tactical Shift for the attacker.

In the example shown, there are 2 green "lobes" on the rosette but 0 shift is being given (I note that the wording of the rosette explanation seems to taken verbatim from KP).

Is this correct or should the shift be +4?

The defender always starts with a -4

Therefore +2 +2 -4 = 0

Brilliant, thanks Joe. I remember something similar from KP but didn't put it together.

Btw I'm pretty certain this automatic Defender -4 shift has been left out of the BiN manual. I remember it in KP.
