But but but... how does the HC actually physically move further away
without at some point turning their backs? >>

Well, they might end up that way, but that is usually bad if the HC end up
back-to at 120p or less from the LI...lol

You've avoiding my question. I realize that when performing the move
the player just picks up the figures and plunks them down further to
the rear, still facing the front.

But in real life, they MUST present their backs to the enemy, either
all at once or in stages by squadron. So the LI are at some point
facing the REAR of the enemy, which by the rules allows them to
charge.

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then,
that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress
shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every
other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an
American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of
either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it
will ever remain, in the hands of the People."- Tench Coxe, 1788.

Lost me there... I was concerned about this also but thought it was just me. So,
Heavy Cavalry CAN turn their back on LI and leave 120 paces while exposing their
back, that is in charge range at the time of the turn ,without a waver test
during a retirement. Correct?

Not really.

If you mean 180 degree turn, then yes, ceratinly HC can do that. Yes, they can
do it as part of a retirement. No, a body is never considered to be halted in
the middle of a move and checked for its status and no, in any case there is no
wavre for such a retirement if you are out of charge reach and steady HC facing
LI is out of the LI's charge reach at any range.
