Tactic I read, not mine

Some people might call this a tactic, Others just call it cheesy. So I feel it falls more in the lines of a 1 shot trick that could work, but seems like it would take a lot of time and effort to put into play.

I read this on the Warhammer forum and they call it Leap F**ing. I'm assuming it means Leap Frogging, but you can call it what you want.

The idea is if you have a unit that will not wipe out a unit with crossfire (or insert whatever new term you wish to call this rule) but can be used to still kill a unit.

Setup:


In this setup unit A in red has charged unit B in blue. A thinks they can break B, but either he does not wish to pursue or feels he cannot catch the fleeing enemy.

So the red army takes a unit of skirmishers or fliers that are only US 4. That can move quickly behind the unit. Leaving only a small gap of 5-7".
The idea is that if he rolls less than 7", you have a great chance of catching them. If he rolls higher than 7, he will hit the skirmishers behind him.

According to the new rules, this will cause him to leap right over all of them and land on the back side. Since there is no room to move him on the table and stay 1" away. He is considered dead and taken off the table.

Some people will call it cheesy. I just see it as part of the new rules. A trick some people might use to wipe out a unit. Of course this depends on a lot of things to make it work. But if it does, it could have some impact.

I mainly wanted to bring it up, so you are aware of this, and make sure you are not caught in it. Remember just because they are only US 3 or 4, do not underestimate a small unit in your backfield. They can do more than crossfire you.
