3 Units of Pikes declare non impetuous charges against single large
russ unit, but Russ unit has declared an impetuous charge against the
closer of the 2 pike units which MUST stand to recieve but what
happens to the third pike unit ???

All the pike units' charges are canceled. They all halt, only one will be
contacted unless the Russ can/wants to echelon forward.

Jon,
If the Russ unit charges impetuously, and only can contact two of the
3 charging pike units, than isn't the Russ Unit's charge canceled by the third
pike unit charge?
If the Russ unit charges and "choses" to contact only the first pike
unit, than how can the second pike units charge be canceled?

From 6.163 Declaring Charges, Multiple Targets, page 38:

"Charges count as declared on all legal targets in or moving into the charge
path.."

from 6.164 Declaring Charges, Canceled Charges, page 39:

"Canceled Charges: A body's charge is canceled if:
• it contains non-impetuous foot that have a charge declared on them by
impetuous or mounted troops. "

The pike unit's are all in the charge path, the Russ charge counts as
declared on all of them and they are all canceled because the Russ is impetuous
and
the pike are non-impetuous foot.

And before someone else says it or asks: 7th is the same way.... lol
