At the moment play in HMA is scheduled to start on Monday 15th February, but if I can bring it forward a few days so that players can get going next weekend then I will. It depends on the speed of recruitment.

HMA - personally I would prefer not to have it brought forwards. Have only just purchased the game and would like to have a few days to try it out before selecting armies.

Yes, units evading or pursuing off have a small chance of return each turn. It's not very high, so you shouldn't count on them coming back very soon, if ever.

So, it can be considered as a missing unit.

But I noticed reported results using the losses displayed in the very last pop up of the game once it's over, which are usually different numbers.
I don't found anything about this point in the rules.
So... % routed or % losses ?

If so is there a way of knowing in game who has the last turn? I have been playing mirror matches and haven't kept a record of which player went first. I may have ordered some unnecessary panic charges

What are you referring to? The 25% damage you need to inflict on an opponent in a drawn game to get the 2 points? Or the 25% minimum winning margin that you need to achieve at end of any turn to win a match?

Well that can come at the end of any turn. Players don't have to play the same number of turns. At least they didn't the last time that I played, which is ages ago now.

Heavy Chariots are counted as "mounted shock troops" (manual 29.4.3/14.2.4)

Almost all types of infantry (except deep pike) have their impact POA neglected when they are charging mounted shock troops (see unit details or manual 14.2.1)
