Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

John:

The newly posted list rules for both Romans and Swiss allow rear ranks to
replace the first rank in combat in the second bound of combat, and count
as steady even if the rest of the unit is disordered. Do mounted troops
that recoiled the Romans/Swiss in the first bound of combat (and therefore
disordered them) get a +2 for fighting against disordered foot in the second
bound of combat (where it is facing one rank that is steady and other(s)
that are disordered)?

It seems to me that 9.42, which gives the +2 to mounted "that are fighting
against artillery or disordered foot or pursuing," could be interpreted
either way. Whatever the answer, you might want to consider adding a
clarification to the current 9.42 to squarely address this new scenario.

Thanks. Dave.

They do not get that +2. They are not in contact with disordered foot at that
point.
