CMT questions

Is the CMT required for a short move inside in 6", measured at start or end of move?

Do the positive modifiers for cohesion tests re. a general's proximity still count when that general is in rout?

Is a "halt" a move? (Re. CMTs to halt impulsive troops?)

Is artillery drilled or undrilled?

If a unit fails a CMT to halt, but can't make a full move forwards without contacting (say) enemy, what happens, fight a (non impact?) melee?

If an impetuous unit is, say wavering, it is less likely to pass a CMT, making it less likely to halt (so, wavering troops are more likely to charge impetuously?)

>>> A CMT is required if it goes within 6" at any point.

Do the positive modifiers for cohesion tests re. a general's proximity still count when that general is in rout?
>>> No, but it needs clarifying.

Is a "halt" a move? (Re. CMTs to halt impulsive troops?)
>>> Impulsive troops are being replaced by a new concept, so don't worry about this for now.

Is artillery drilled or undrilled?
>>> This will be covered by army lists, but in general ancient armies will be drilled, while medieval armies will be undrilled.

If a unit fails a CMT to halt, but can't make a full move forwards without contacting (say) enemy, what happens, fight a (non impact?) melee?
>>> This will no longer apply with the replacement rules for impulsive troops. See shock troops post.

If an impetuous unit is, say wavering, it is less likely to pass a CMT, making it less likely to halt (so, wavering troops are more likely to charge impetuously?)
>>> See shock troops post. Shock troops dont count as shock troops when wavering (fragmented). If disrupted we are happy for them to be harder to halt, as these troops were most likely to be uncontrolled was when they were under pressure.
