[Havoc]

I still miss the Cavalry CounterCharge from the old Battleground games.

Ah, yes, I had forgotten about those. They were sometimes a useful tactic. I wonder why they were left out?

Simplification, probably, so as not to have so many phases (better for PBEM). Or perhaps they weren't actually that commonly used in real battles? We hear of the Charge of the Scots Greys, or the Charge of the Light Brigade. We never hear of the 'Countercharge of the (whatever)s'!

Automating a counter-charge would probably not go over well. Instead cavalry was weakened by only being able to move or charge, but not both. In the old BG games, you could move your full movement, then charge in the charging phase. This essentially doubled the movement of cavalry (also allowing the gamey tactic of moving adjacent to an enemy unit, then charging past them in their non-ZOC hexes, effectively bypassing their ZOC).
