Re: (TFT) Kneeling

["joel siragher" <joel.siragher@gmail.com>]

this issue came up this weekend.

In the movies you see scores of archers firing over the heads of the swords
men protecting them.... then a rain of arrows comes down on their victims.

Is this resolved by the front line kneeling behind large or tower shields?

In that case, if a character was kneeling, on his next turn can he raise and
move 1, 2 or half-move?
