Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

1. In 6.711 it says "Any reduction in movement distance caused by
terrain ceases when the entire front edge of the body is clear of the
terrain feature." Is this also the circumstances in which the
deviation of columns ceases?

2. An irregular infantry unit that charges a regular infantry unit
impetuously is itself charged by a cavalry unit from within its
charge path. As I understand it the infantry charge is not cancelled
and they collide with the cavalry. If this collision occurs before
the infantry unit has hit its original target, MUST it echelon
forward into contact, or is it optional?

3. Can Prodromoi (and similiar) LC L use skirmish formation?

4. In 6.713 it says "Movement across a very rough area restricts
tactical moves that include animals to a column (6.42) assumed to
follow tracks." Are these "tracks" justa poetic flourish? Or does
the terrain specifically have or not have these "tracks."

Sorry if any of these are blindingly obvious, I did read the rules
first honest!
Cheers,

No. But I am working on a concise definition of 'in' terrain to put in the
clarification sheet.

Echeloning is always at the option of the player.

LC L may not enter skirmish formation.

Flourish. I should have left that out.

Thanks for that Jon. Mostly as we thought then.
