Impede

When this model declares an Attack of Opportunity with a Melee Attack against a non-Engaged model, that model’s Movement ends at the point of the Attack and the target becomes Engaged immediately.

Q: Does Impede counter Hit and Retreat?

A (deokel, Feb 2026): Yes — Impede is a hard counter to Hit and Retreat. When a Hit and Retreat model tries to disengage, a model with Impede in Melee RCH can declare an Attack of Opportunity, which immediately re-Engages and stops the Moving model.
