Just thought of another problem with charging past the light foot.

If your opponent moves his longbow to just in front of your light foot you will have nowhere to expand once you are in contact and will have painful overlaps.

Maybe needs more thinking about.

Never had that problum before most people with medium foot bow don't want to move that close to Lancers but if they do try moving generals away in the JAP and throw less than 8 you burst through the LF and charge into the Medium foot with the two BGs two base wide.

I now know what to expect against my Free Company :twisted:

It could all be a double bluff of course :)
