Chase

How chase work, i undestand nothing :)

We tested it briefly recently for the first time (been playing for years). The way we understand is that it's a continuum. GM decides the starting positions. So, I started with PCs in order at the left, in places 1, 2, 4, and 6, based on their initiative and DEX rolls due to the start to the chase. The NPCs were in slot 9. That turned out to be a very short head start, given some PCs were on horses.

Then each round you add X to each character in the chase, where X is determined by the speed of each character, obstacles, DEX roll, etc. as per the 7E rules. When PCs reach the same slot on the continuum as NPCs, they can interfere with them, or of course shoot earlier.

I'll have to read the chase rules thoroughly and prep better (this was unexpected impromptu chase in HotOE), but from the quick in-game test I actually think the chase rules would be a really fun wrinkle to add to the game occasionally.

Thx, Magnimost !
Chase rules are not really clear (for me) in core rules and there is totally no explanations with the ruleset...
It’s a little clearer now :)
