Newly minted commanders.....

General
#1

Another question undoubtedly answered somewhere…I beg your patience…

I know you cannot issue orders to a new character but can the newly minted commander received troops from a split army order?

Thanks!

#2

Yes.

Just hope nobody else is using the id that you want to use for the new character.

#3

That’s why you will often see army commanders with real wierd names. Lord Zsplyt leading a Witch-king army, he really wanted to be certain he got his troops.

#4

I am certain I tried this in a previous 1650 game and it did not work, not sure of the error though since it was a few years ago.

This must have happend because the name you gave your new commander was already in use, cause the new named commanderto have a ME generated name, causing the 765 order to fail. It IS possible to 765 to a commander named the same turn. I have pdf proof (and are NOT afraid to use it ;))

Let me know if you want the pdf.

Jeppe,

Thanks for the kind offer, I certainly would like to see the pdf to understand how I messed it up, make sure it is not in GB 99 or 12 though.

:wink:

I would assume this means you can 780 (Transfer Command) to them as well, but as mentioned, the only real risk is accidentally repeating a name already in the game.

#8

Aye, one of the players in my current game did a 780 to a freshly created commander.

#9

interesting option, I must admit that I never tried that… and even more interesting: does a newly hired char appear on a scochar report? since 930 comes after 728, it should be. Any experiences on that?

#10

Newly named characters definitely show up on 930 scout on the same turn. Just seen this as the LR 1650 game on turn 1 in NM capital

Hi Paul

The pdf is mailed to you. It is Camlin that names Quilxit and splits to her at the same time.

Glad to be of help :slight_smile:
