An ambush marker prevents enemy units and groups from making a second / third move until it is revealed to be a dummy. Does an ambush marker (real or dummy) provoke an 'uncontrolled charge'?

I am presuming it does not affect impetuous troops in any way, but wanted to check.

Don't forget :
- there's no uncontrolled charge if the impetuous unit would have to fight in a terrain penalizing
- impetuous units are not impetuous against all units. For ex heavy cav against heavy foot.

p 70 a unit may not charge an ambush.

Ergo no impetuous charges into ambush markers.

[Ramses II]

Looks good to me, even if a little esoteric

[plefebvre]

You are never allowed to charge an ambush marker (see p 70). As a consequence an impetuous unit cannot initiate an uncontroled charge against this marker..

Thanks both, though I would prefer it if we were to say that an ambush marker does not cause an impetuous unit to charge it (other circumstances permitting).
