Under troops who may charge without orders on P62 & P63 it says shock troops are not required to take a CMT to prevent charging if their move could end even partly in terrain that would disorder or severely disorder them.
Twice at Britcon I had a legal 3 inch charge with heavy foot to my front that was clear of terrain with skirmishers tempting me to charge. As the skirmishers were just inside 2 inch (handgunners) I argued that a very slight wheel would take me into an open field on my right edge thus I did not have to test not to charge.
It was ruled that I had to test not to charge as a charge straight forward would not end up with my heavy foot going into the terrain.
What are your thoughts? My argument was the word "could" in the rules meant if I "could" declare a charge that would enter the terrain with a wheel then I didn't have to test not to charge.
For the record I failed the tests and got intercept charged in the rear.
