hi guys

is there an anomaly in the contact restrictions for light infantry.
in the open they CAN charge other lights and elephants etc.
in rough/difficult they CAN'T....as the other light infantry are not penalised!!!! likewise elephant in brush can't be charged, not penalised.

IMHO
i think the text needs amended to P42 LIGHT INFANTRY

remove first bullet point "in open terrain" and the word "only"
add to second bullet point after word may "also"


cheers

In open terrain, heavy infantry, in a 2 deep column, taking hits from HC bow, charges it. HC stands and wins melee. In the HC's turn a friendly LF attacks the flank of the HI. Situation looks like this

HC
HI
LF


--- ---------------

The heavy infantry unit fighting is then routed. The HC choses not to pursue. The LF now has it's front left corner in contact with the HC's front right and the second HI's front left.

What happens to the LF?

In v3 there was a bit about moving a LF away, even by a mm, to break contact. We looked for something to indicate if this was correct, but failed. It's easy to miss things in the middle of a game. Does the LF break contact? Does the HC have to pursue to prevent the LF being destroyed?

They can be moved away up to 1UD in their turn. It's free, ie no pips.
