Fragmented units pursuing

[mrbootsthecat]

This came up in a game last night. A unit of sword and bucklermen heavy foot are fighting an ECW regiment of foot (4 musket, 2 pike) with the assistance of a pike and sword unit. (Not historical, but the only two armies I have.) The sword and bucklers were fragmented, as were the ECW regiment. The ECW regiment lost the fight and broke. Do the sword and bucklers pursue? I couldn't find anything that said they shouldn't, but it seems counter intuitive as normally they have to CMT to go any closer to enemy. Any answers gratefully recieved.[/b]

Yes they "could"

If you look at the section where it describes who pursues It is in the combat mechanism section I believe. It says who must pursue, who may pursue. IIRC there is no specific prohibtion of Frag'd pursuing.

yes they do pursue, similar question came up in our game today and there is no restriction on fragged pursuing broken enemy.
