as I fear the MOOG monsters perhaps more than I should. Ever since
Hutchby and Clark made their Spanish list with Htw, Jls,sh for the
scutarii, I've disliked that troop type. Whew! How many Hellenistic
armies get this rule for their pikes? Can the Swiss counter charge?
Those guys were nuts. No lists are at hand.

cancelled by impetuous foot charges)
looks like about 13 of them...note that the rule applies also to
Hypaspists in lists 22, 23, 24, and to all sorts of Greek Hoplites
on various lists...although it is really the pike and their multiple
ranks that make best use.
Make such troops, when opposing you, uneasy, and their charge IS
cancelled (special troop rule only applies if Willing or Eager, not
Uneasy.) Use Elephants or Chariots...
Swiss do not get such a special rule.
