rules question

1. If you are mounted with a light spear do you only get a POA in the impact phase if neither you or you opponent has any POAs or do you get one if you don't have any other POAs?

2. Also the way read the rule is that if you have elephants or camelry you and your opponents mounted will be disordered if you are a base depth away is this correct.

3. Also what are the effects of a BG that is disordered by terrain then fails a Cohesion test. Are they just disrupted or do they go to fragmented or something different.

1. The light spear PoA for mounted applies if after you've factored all other PoA's the combat is at a net 0 PoA advantage to either side. For example cavalry charge MF spearmen, both have a PoA (spearmen and mounted fighting MF) which nets out at no PoA and so the mounted then get the light spear PoA making them a + PoA for the combat.

2. Both sides are disordered.

3. Just disrupted.

A BG can be both disrupted and dissordered, the two effects are independent and not cumulative.

Disrupting a dissordered BG does not reduce it's combat ability but it does make it harder for tit to pass cohesion tests and take it one step closer to breaking.

This should be base width.
