I think we should simply run with Commodore’s translation wording previously posted:

The French booklet says p41 last bullet (modified by addendum) that :"an unit is not subject to uncontrolled charge if, at the end of the charge move, it will be in a terrain who gives a combat disadvantage. 

[Ramses II]

The exact wording of the french text (which is the reference) is

" Si, à la suite du mouvement de charge, l’unité se retrouve dans un terrain qui lui inflige un malus au combat ».

And the English translation is :

“if, as the result of the charge move, the unit ends up in terrain that would inflict a combat penalty on it”
Page 42


You can see that "malus" has been translated by "penalty" . I think there is no "lost in translation" effect because the rule doesn't speak about "disadvantage" and to be disadvantaged is not exactly the same as to suffer a penalty.

I think we all understand the intent. A suitable FAQ now needs to be published asap so that club players not on this forum are made aware of it - or don't try to claim 'its just an opinion of someone on the forum so not a ruling' as I've heard before.

So this will mean that units in disordering terrain are only going to go Impetuous against opponents sufficeintly far outside that the charger nds up fully out of the terrain?

Or, put another way, 2 units both in disordering terrain are never Impetuous against each other

One last comment from me. I think any phrase that uses the word "result" is likely to be a problem, but as long as everyone knows what the intention is we can live with it.
