Reconnaissance by leaders

[Eckerslyke]

I always play with the house rules on skirmisher no more than 4 hexes from a formed unit in open terrain.  In light of your situation I'll ask that this would apply to leaders as well, or beyond the boundaries of your army

This strikes me as a gamey tactic moving deep into unknown territory with leaders for recon.  Are you able to ask him to recall his leaders back to their own lines?

We have that house rule, in fact a version more stringent than most - a skirmisher may not go beyond TWO hexes from the parent unit, and only light or guard skirmishers may go up to three.  That's stricter than usual, I believe.

My opponent has always been very fastidious about 'doing things the right way' - for example, we play with the 'no save' option, which on a map so large, means taking chances on losing everything and having to re-do a move.  For example, yesterday my battle laptop lost power, while I was waiting to sort out this problem and with my move ready to send in the hope of being able to come to an agreement about this leader anomaly.  So now, even if we can reach agreement, I will have to take the whole move again.

I have offered safe passage to the three leaders currently out of LOS of their side, and am waiting to hear if that offer is satisfactory.

Thanks for your response.
