I noticed Terry missed these questions about "squares that break" from previous posts, so I thought I'd collect them here and ask again.

1) In the assault phase a cavalry unit declares a charge on a wavering infantry square. The infantry square fails its CT test ("a wavering unit having an assault declared on it") and is therefore "broken". Which outcome move applies: (a) Infantry -facing cavalry and in square so that the square is "destroyed" or (b) infantry - otherwise so that infantry retires D6+4?

2) In the combat phase, cavalry is fighting a square. The square is "broken" and is therefore "destroyed". Do the cavalry pursue - as per the pursuit table (i.e., steady cavalry must pursue and disordered cavalry must pass a CMT to not pursue)? If so, in which direction?

1) Replace the word "facing" with "in contact with". This should have been done in the errata. Any other interpretation leaves us problems with definitions of what 'facing' means.

2) If the square is destroyed the cavalry do not pusue. they are too busy dealing with the 1500+ surrendering enemy.

Again, thanks for taking the time to answer all of our - or at least my - silly questions.
