Jon,

the following came up at the weekend. if its in the rules i appologise
because we couldnt find a specific reference.

unit A charges unit X.

both are close order and in charge distance.

unit X would like to counter charge but on prorating distance unit X would
hit enemy unit B first. unit B is partly to the front of X.

so which of the following happens.

1. unit X countercharges but stops short of unit B. unit A charges the lions
share of the distance.

or

2. unit X does not countercharge.

If the answer is 1. above - can or must part of the unit eschelon in to unit
A.

thx
mark mallard

Mark, the answer is 1) below. and echeloning is always voluntary, so yes it
can, but it does not have to.
