Charging rules

[jonnymacbrown]

You only get the 3x bonus against infantry & artillery. If a Cav unit is in an infantry square both would be disordered and you'd get the charge bonus. Cav against cav is 1 to 1, no bonus except other bonuses might apply like heavy cavalry bonus. I think you also get a charge bonus, so lancers or heavy cavalry vs. cavalry would get a +2 and +3 if the defenders were lancers. There are some problems with HPS rules. For example, some players choose to put artillery batteries in squares which serve as anti-cavalry firing platforms. This is ahistorical and against the spirit of the rules. I'd make sure there was some agreement that this is inappropriate: The artillery make take protection in an infantry square but not fire out of it, methinks. Jonny
