Not trying to break the rules, but I think that there maybe an issue with 'clever' uses of directional evades.

A simple example

The HI charges , and the LH evades directly to its own rear - thus avoiding contact and ending up behind the troops that charged it



The HI does have the option to wheel - however, by wheeling it'll never catch LH. I'm assuming that the evader must complete his evade, before the charge can wheel to counter

Maybe if the enemy is within the ZOI of the chargers it can only evade in the direction of the charge?

Maybe you think this is acceptable to angle infront of the enemy? The LH gets it both way to be able to evade in a choice of directions

Richard will need to confirm this but I thought we had said that troops

charged from flank or rear may not evade to their own rear.

Their only choice may be the line of charge, or it may have been own front. Can't recall and don't have rules with me here at present. It is certainly one we looked at ourselves and eradicated as over cheesy. If we have missed it I am sure we will reinstall it.

You are of course correct

Ah yes but please keep trying to break things.....
