Art De La Guerre

Forgive me if this has comes up as part of the Base size arguments but I can't see an answer so here goes:

During a game my Impetuous Heavy Sword charged a heavy spear. At the same time I charge a Light Cavalry in the spear's back sandwiching him. In my turn then I kill the Heavy spear creating a 30mm gap between my HI and my LC. Because I am impetuous pursuit of 1 UD (40mm) is compulsory but I can only move 30mm before I reach my LC.

The rules cover coming into contact with enemy and such like but not friends. I don't burst through because that only applies in a charge and pursuit is deemed not to be a charge. So what happens?

We assumed the HI move as much as it can and then stops but I thought I would ask if there is another answer.

Cheers

Ian

Yes, you just stop when you reach friends. (Maybe you are allowed to interpenetrate friends if you are normally allowed to (say HI through LI), I’m not sure.)

Note, that you could have chosen to pursue with the LC instead if you wanted. (Edited)

You played it correct.

A pursuit move in no way shifts friends.
