Pursuit

Ok, had an interesting game last night.

Please take a look at the following combat.

The HF has been charged from two directions resulting thus

In the melee the HF break and get a + VMD thus:

The cavalry pursue and get a - VMD.

The question is which do they do?

1)

or

2)

To me, 2 looks more correct as the base in contact attempts to keep contact. My opponent stated that 1 was more correct as they can actually maintain contact (and also be ready to impact the bow when the HF disappear - something that I'm sure didn't influence his decision)

They would pursue shortest distance into the routers. So, Number 1 is correct.

Pursuers dont have to wheel just because routers do (they may need to for other reasons - but not in this case). Its the same situation when evading skirmishers may be forced to wheel away and lose distance from chargers coming straight in.
