Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[John Murphy]

Q1: If in a body of all-Irreg-A do they have the _option_ to charge
unprompted or _must_ they charge unprompted? I see the statement in
the rules under charge prompts for this one but not sure which way it
is meant.

If in a body of mixed A/B then they do not _get_ to charge unprompted
by this statement in the rules. Looks like they just get the front-
rank A never-uneasy, and the roll-up bonus for that rank.

Q2: But for each case are there other effects on restrictions to
having to move or charge their nearest enemy or anything? And if so
would someone, please again, point me to the corresponding rule
section? If not, would someone please also indicate this so I can
stop looking?

Why I am asking about this rule (or non-rule): I have not had the joy
of running Irreg A's in a while. But if I recall from my Norman and
Islamic Persian experiements of many years ago there was a trick to
keeping them screened or out of a certain distance until you wanted
to send the crazies in. Just trying to find the rules rationale for
this so I can plan on how or wether to include them in my list.

Under attack and probe orders, bodies containing any Irr A must charge
(unprompted) if they can. 4.51

Besides the above - no. 6.163 allows Irr A to charge unprompted no matter what
their orders, but they are only made to charge on Rush (where everyone has to),
Attack and Probe.
