Light Horse Charging

[TheGrayMouser]

Hmm, embarrassed to say I have no idea if this has changed or always been the case but:

Why are light cavalry allowed to charge heavy /medium infantry/ heavy cavalry in clear hexes frontally ??

This is contrary to the rules in the manual where light cavalry cannot attack ANY formed troop (non skirmishers) unless routed , or in flank rear***., if in clear hexes.

Sure , they still have to pass an anarchy test but it is also odd that they can just as easily fail that test when charging a fragged enemy in the rear vs charging pikres to the front ... odd...

I have to agree. I've had many a mistaken mouse click cause my LH to charge pike or something else that they can't possibly stand a chance against. In the reverse, I often can't charge Fragmented troops or troops from behind. I think the anarchy rules seem a bit harsh at times. MF with spear charging up a slope to attack lancers? Maybe some kind of morale bonus would help for extreme cases?
