Yeah, but he doesn't know we can't see him before he gives his orders. The battlefield distance during the start means the attacker almost always operates blind.

I disagree, assuming a symmetrical system, he knows our deployment zone and roughly how large our deployment zone is, and he also knows he goes first. So that means he can move pretty freely until we get our first turn.

In-universe, he can advance without worry until his scout reports movement in our camp and on our side of the field. He was noted to have done a good job scouting us.
 
That clause about only charging a non braced enemy is really good, if i was von T i would definitely try to trigger the charge and then shoot it and countercharge it, but i would probably do it with braced infantry D:

also, is there a way to ready orders for enemy ready orders? When thinking about my possible moves as von trotha I would really want a ready charge to charge any triggered Ready charges from Durands cavalry, but there is not really a way to do it - normal charges need an enemy but they only are in range after their ready charge triggered and a ready charge only triggers during her turn, at which point its too late.

Well, i guess the real best way to bait is with infantry charging into nothing, but thats my love for charges and their big strenght when used in unconventional ways, von Trotha would not charge his infantry against charging cavalry i guess even if its so good

But the system is literally asymmetrical. He gets the first move, our move is done with spotting calcs for his end of turn. He did scout before the actual battle, but that was before out proper deployment. Remember how we discussed deployment during the tutorial battle, there are strong pressures to be cautious there.

The ready order has been revamped somewhat, it wouldn't be feasible under the new rules. Conditional ready orders are only resolved during the other's turn, meaning you could only intercept a charge rather than a ready charges. Ready orders are by definition staggered, only resolved during the enemies turn. But intercepting a charge is still useful.

Yeah, but I think that's an oversight, cause that means that you would always want to do ready charge and could never get intercepted

Hmmm, you have a point. Though there is still the issue of the enemy potentially bracing or running into a charge, which is smaller.

Unit delays its turn to potentially act on the enemy turn. For Ready Action, specify a trigger and a set of Orders, using up to the Unit's full available AP. If this trigger is fulfilled during the enemy's turn, the Unit acts then simultaneously with the enemy. A trigger must be specific and only one set of Orders can be Readied with this action.

Perhaps we could make it so units that pick the same ready orders in a row could also "inherit" those orders and act during their own turn when conditions are met? I'm a bit tired and not sure if this is a complete fix, but this would prevent ready charges from being invulnerable to responding fire.
