Is a third movement a difficult manoeuvre for cataphracts ie will cost 2 cps
( exceptions only mention cavalry ) |

You are correct

Can Cataphracts even make a third move?
It seems unlikely that page 16 is correct when it says Cataphracts are Unmanoeuvrable because there would be no need for the restriction on page 35. |

Za Otlichiye - isn't it only if they turn 90/180 ? |

The sentence on page 16 is misleading. I've brought it up before and don't understand why it is still there as a flat statement there mixes people up.
Cataphracts are not unmaneuverable. They are in the same category as Pike on page 35 and only restricted when performing turns.
Pike are defined on page 14 and are not awarded the same sentence. They are correctly characterized as "Their deep formation penalizes them in certain movements." |
