So page 41 says impetuous cavalry do no have to charge the front edge of HI (unless HI are in disorder)

Since this wording is very deliberately different than the wording for say elephants I would like to understand better.

A line of 5 impetuous cavalry sees at 2 UD a line of enemy foot. H indicates a heavy foot. M indicates a medium foot.

12345

HHMHH

So it is clear that 1 and 5 do not have to charge as they would hit the front of HI.
It is equally clear that 2 and 4 do not have to charge as they would hit the front edge of HI and therefore the corner of the MI is irrelevant.
But does 3 have to charge? I think so. Its front edge target is MI. However it does touch the front corners of HI, but I do not think those matter.

yes, 3 is submited to impetuous charge.

Interesting. Is this a useful way to mess with impetuous mounted, or does it end up being more trouble than it is worth?

So when the rules write "the target" they refer to where you will conform to not where you actually first touch?
