Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Some quick questions about counter-charge


Since counter-charges are charges in all ways except as amended in 6.166:

1. If non-imp foot declare a charge on mounted, and that mounted unit
declares a counter charge on the foot, the foot charge is canceled? Contact
would then be at the location of the foot unit? What if another unit
(friendly to the foot) would prevent the cav from moving into contact with
the foot at its current position? Would the mounted be unable to declare a
counter charge vs. the foot due to NOT be able to make contact with the foot
at its starting location due to the other unit being in the way (I am
referring to the 'Contact' rules under charging). See question below. Not
sure what happens here.

2. When a counter charge is declared, does it have to 'fit' and/or make
contact with its charging foes 'starting' position, just like normal
charges?

Quesstion on echeloning: is echeloning available as an option ANY TIME a
unit chargers, pursues, etc, or ONLY when a specific movement (like
'Charge', 'Pursuit', 'Follow-Up', etc) mentions it in its description?

Hmm, not sure how many other 'charge equivalent moves there are... But yes,
a counter charge is a charge for that purpose.

Thought so. Again, literal interretation of rules.

OK, this means that the 'contact' charging rule DOESN'T apply to
counter-charges, since counter-charges are not 'declared'.

So that would mean I caould use it an any 'charge' equivalent move (i.e.,
counter-charges)?
