No. Swiss (and hypaspists...) are treated as close order for this purpose.

Chariots combat results has options to break through loose order inf
that the chariots do not have against close order inf.

The basic rules and Swiss amendments seem to allow chariots to break through
Swiss pike as per other loose order inf. Is this your intent?

The price of freedom is infernal vigilantes

"Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then,
that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom? Congress
shall have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every
other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birth-right of an
American ... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of
either the federal or state governments, but where I trust in God it
will ever remain, in the hands of the People."- Tench Coxe, 1788.

Ok, obviously someone screwed up somewhere. probably me. Thanks for
finding this and I'll try to figure out what made me say this.
