Failed to registare rear attack(?)

I'm playing Russ (1054-1154) vs Mongol army lists, my light cavalry unit attacked from the rear enemy Best-equiped cavalry, while my other cavalry unit stood in front of it. Next turn I noticed that enemy cavlry unit can't be rear charged by my cav.

Is that a bug? My understanding was that after the turn completion unit that was attacked from one side would turn to face that side.

Units don't turn to face enemy light troops if that would expose their flank to a charge by non-light troops next turn. Because the unit is only one rank of models deep, the models have turned to face, but that only represents some men in the rear ranks of the actual formation turning to face - the banner indicates the facing of the bulk of the unit. It is still approximately facing your cavalry, who are not behind its flank.

I am not sure if this is stated in the manual. It was a fix in a previous update to FOG2: Ancients to prevent what was deemed to make light horse more effective than intended.

That isn't a bug. The date range filters apply to both lists, and as at least one of the armies has to be post-1000 AD, the minimum end date filter is 1100 AD.

Is there a max 200 POV one unit can have against another? Because I've noticed this.
