Legend: 🟢 Official / team (designer bubalosoldier, staff meksmaks) · 🔵 Community (experienced players). Informal answers — the rulebook and official FAQ/Errata are the final authority.

Q: Does Hit and Retreat give two movements plus an attack, and can its Sweep hit models in the rear arc?
A: 🟢 Yes. Hit and Retreat cancels the Engaged state; the Sweep attack then strikes every model within the weapon's reach, including models in the rear arc.

Q: What does Resistance (Spells) II actually stop?
A: 🔵 It is worded against Attacks. Friendly Enchantments are Assist actions, not attacks, so a model with Resistance (Spells) II (e.g. the Citadel Guard) can still be enchanted by friendly models. It is immune to enemy-castable spells and some allied enchantments, but not to healing spells.

Q: How does Charm (Kitsune) work?
A: 🟢 Charm affects only reactions that target the Charm model (e.g. an Attack or Perceive reaction against her). A Dodge reaction circumvents Charm, because the target of a Dodge is the dodging model itself. (Reaction-timing wording queued for the next FAQ pass.)

Q: How does Burn work?
A: 🔵 You must first deal a Wound through normal means (getting past Armour). Then, for each X of Burn, roll for additional Wound(s) ignoring the target's Armour. If the first (normal) Wound fails, Burn does not trigger.

Q: Can Unstoppable be dodged?
A: 🟢 Yes. (Note: Undead granted Unstoppable via the Chiyo stratagem also ignore size requirements.)

Q: Is there a cap on the Soldier bonus?
A: 🔵 Yes — it is now capped at a maximum of 3 (errata).
