Shock troops in Fog R need to pass a simple CMT to Charge unlike in FoG Ancients where they can charge without taking a CMT - yes/no?
What other differences are there relating to shock troops in FoG ren from Fog Ancients? As far as i can see
Cheers in advance

Erm, not quite. Shock troops can charge whilst DISR without first passing a CMT in FoGR. That's about it as far as I can see.
There are no involuntary charges in FoGR.

I believe shock troops can keep their opponents from making a voluntary break off, so you can hold them in melee against their will.
Only thing I think shock foot would need to test is to charge mounted not on a flank/rear charge.
I believe they can charge as they please otherwise, unless fragged then no charges can be made

Cheers Chaps - sadly I am even more confused now
They have to pass a CMT to charge when steady but not when disrupted?

Polar opposites?
Also intrigued by keeping opponents from making voluntary break offs... will need to look again!

Probably time to re-read the rules

Shock troops do not have to test to charge - other troops have to test to charge if Disrupted.

Had another re-read and can see where I have been mis-interpreting this. Hopefully i now have it right as follows:
CMT's are only required to charge in certain circumstances such as when foot have a threated flank...
This is what happens when you dont game a specific system regularly

I'm mixing up my rule sets again
