Summary: Splitting Legions

Initial Comment:
I seem to remember when playing the board game (mine has since long gone to moving and gnawing dogs!), that when you split your legions that you are allowed to unsplit them if your only options are to attack another legion.  

However, in the downloadable Collossus game, the legions must remain split and one of the legions must attack.  Can you look into this for me?  Thanks, Dave Marshall

I am afraid you remember wrong. The only situation where you may unsplit
is, if _all_ possible move target hexes are occupied by your own legions.

You do not need to move another own legion away, or you may move an own
to a place which then blocks the split ones so that none of them can move
away.
In that case you may unsplit.

Rules say:

>>>A Legion whose move would end on a Land occupied by another of the
Mover's Legions may not make that move, unless the second Legion is also
capable of moving and moves beforehand. The Mover is not forced to move a
Legion just to allow another Legion to move (this may give the Mover the
option of aborting the split of a new Legion by occupying the only Land the
new Legion could move to).<<<

Google for "Law of Titan" to get the rules.
Bruno Wolff's Errata and clarification
 http://wolff.to/titan/errata.html
seems not contain much more concrete statements either.


Best Regards,

Clemens
