impetuous units MUST charge their full distance or until the enter melee, support or something impassable.
Note all other must go their minimum and MAY stop after that at any point up their maximum. |

Is there something in the FAQ that says this? On p 36 on continuing a charge, impetuous units must continue if they are making an *uncontrolled charge,* but otherwise I don't see anything. So a line of three warbands that make contract with one enemy can all stop when the first unit hits if they are making a spontaneous charge for example. |

p36 last paragraph says this applies during an uncontrolled charge.
"Continuing a charge is optional except for impetuous units making an uncontrolled charge, in which case it is compulsory." |

It is free. |
Yes it's a spontanenous charge, as we say in France. _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

Only if in uncontroled charge. _________________ "Quand on a pas de technique, faut y aller à la zob"

Are you say that an impetuous unit that spends 1 CP to charge, may halt after its minimum distance? |

No, but in a case like this thread started with, where the impetuous unit is on the end of a line that makes contact with the enemy (rather than it being an elephant), it can stop with the rest of the line. In that case, the only time it has to keep going is if it's an uncontrolled charge. |

I think it's also true that if the target evaded. You are citing p 36 I am citing p 40.
Not there is also the FAQ that implies impetuous units must always charge. |

I think we are in agreement, but I'm not sure.
I would amend what you said in the first post on this page of this thread "impetuous units MUST charge their full distance or until the enter melee, support or something impassable. " as
impetuous units MUST charge their full distance or until they enter melee, support, or something impassable; or if they are part of a group charging (not uncontrolled) that makes contact with the enemy
Do you disagree with that?
p36 is explicit that impetuous troops don't have to continue a charge unless it is an uncontrolled charge. |
