Taking Turns

Any effects that occur on turn start, notably the effects of Rest for wizards who rested the prior turn, checking Stupidity, etc.

Magical Effects:

• Wizards who rested the prior turn regain 1 Magic Point.
• Wizards who employed Magical Awareness the prior turn become aware of the presence and magic level of other wizards and magic items within 48".
• Resolve any spell effects that take place at the start of the turn.
• Remove any expired spell effects.

Psychological Effects:

• Resolve Panic and Stupidity
• Resolve Animosity.
• Resolve Instability.

Battleground Effects:

• Burning Buildings and Creatures take 1D3 damage.
• Resolve damaged buildings.
• Unexploded Mortar shells explode on a d6 roll of a 6.

Off-Table Units:

• Trailing units roll against their highest member's Leadership, and enter the battlefield if they do not exceed the amount on 2d6.
• Units that voluntarily left battle, such as Aerial units picking up ammunition, or any unit moving around the battlefield's exterior, return on a d6 roll of a 6.

Units may move in the Reserve phase as if it were a second Movement phase, with some exceptions:

• Units may not move to within 4" of an enemy unit. If they would do so, they immediately halt at that boundary.

Reserve moves cannot be done by the following:

• Units who failed the Leadership test to preform a Complex Maneouvre.
• Units within 4" of an enemy.
• Routing and Pursuing units.
• Units within 4" of routing units, regardless of allegiance.
• Flying creatures.
• War machines and chariots pulled by less than one beast of burden.
• Units in Difficult or Very Difficult terrain, or seperated by an Obstacle.
• Units in Buildings.

If any units are routing, they may attempt to Rally. In order to rally, the following conditions must be true:

• The unit is not in base to base contact with pursuers.
• The unit must have at least 25% of its original strength remaining.
• The unit must be closer to any one non-routing friendly unit of five or more models than it is to any enemy unit.
• The unit may not be within the Fear range of an enemy.
• The unit must not have failed its rout test this turn.

The unit makes a Leadership test by rolling 2d6 with a target of rolling equal or lower than their Leadership, and reorganises into a formation on a success (including models being turned and repositioned around the Leader, who may only rotate in place), ceasing to be considered Routing.
