the lost prince and routing

hey gang,
i was playing a game of the lost prince with a couple of my friends (sounds dirty doesn't it) and i lost enough models to be forced to make a rout check, and i failed it. but, after the game was over i was looking through the victory conditions and it doesn't say that a rout check is required, but it doesn't say that you don't have to take them. so i was wondering, if it doesn't specifically say is a rout check required?

As a rule of thumb, I'd say it's safe to assume that you always have to take rout checks unless there is a rule that says otherwise. Most scenarios won't explicitly state "take rout checks as normal," so unless the scenario gives specific rules on how to handle rout checks just play them normally. Generally speaking any rule to this effect would be listed under the scenario-specific rules, after terrain and setting up.

So yeah, you guys played correctly and you did have to take your rout check as normal.

cool thx a bunch.

what if you rout while having the prince?

i would imagine it's just like any game where you have something that you could easily take off with you but must drop cause you lost (like wyrdstone) (like a treasure chest in hidden treasure). i think it says in the rules if all other war bands rout the prince goes with the winner.

EDIT: LOL reading. TY for the correction cygnus i dunno why i've always played that you drop wyrdstone when you rout (the rule always seemed fishy to me anyway).

I agree about the prince, but where does it say you drop any wyrdstone shards if you rout? If I had noticed that, I wouldn't have had to make a house rule saying that voluntarily routing required you to drop any treasure/wyrdstone before doing so!
