We had a few queries during the charge/pursuit in Cav v Cav
The situation is when cavalry is charged and there is a line of cavalry behind. The rules don't seem clear when the unit in front loses the combat, what situation allows it retreat/rout through the gap and when it will burst through.
1] How close does the Cav behind have to be to force it to interpenetrate?
2] How wide does the gap have to be to allow it to go through e.g. if the line behind is say only 3 inches away and there is 1 BW gap between the units behind would it go through that gap if as a result of losing combat it is now reduced to only 1 base
3] Does the sideways move necessary to get through the gap count towards the rout distance and does it end up directly behind the next line or in line with the gap
All these questions above then lead to questions about the pusuit
1] If the unit being pursued goes through the gap does the pursuing unit follow it through or does it hit the line of stationary troops behind
2] If the routing unit is 1 base width and routs through a 1 BW gap but the pursuing unit is 2 BW where goes it go?
3] Does the pursuing unit end up behind the enemy lines or can it have opportunity to charge into the stationary enemy units instead
