British Ranger Infantry rules section is not correct. The Unit Reference Chart is correct.
Please update the rule book to read: Movement in Hexes: 1 combat, or 2 hexes when unit moves and can melee. (RB)

I had not noticed there was a difference between the rulebook and the reference card. The "move two hexes and not battle" in the rulebook I did not question as I always thought this logical for its semi-light infantry role, having as it does the two British light infantry bonus rules of "ignore a flag in a forest" and "ranged combat dice not reduced when moving".

Using the correction, it makes them very lethal in game terms. The Queen's Rangers that they represent was a highly respected and well-led, well-equipped, well-performed unit, so lucky for the Americans there is only one!
