The special rule states that if the German cavalry move faster than the 'horse killer' skirmish marker, then the claim for Expert Melee is lost - is this permament?
Which book is that army in? I'm really bad at finding them, but this sounds fascinating.
Yes, that is my interpretation. You have ridden off leaving them behind.

Classical - Gaul, Germany and Britain. Early German list.

Yes.
Thanks chaps.
What happens if the cav charges and doesn't contact enemy within 4BWs eg if the enemy evades? Can the cav choose to charge short and keep the infantry, or must they move their full distance leaving the foot behind?
There is nothing in the special rule in the list that allows for a short move in a charge.
That's how I understood it to. May I enquire from the list writer(s) if that is also the intent?
Yes that is the intent.
It seems a very neat way of representing the 'infantry assisting' form we read about.
Si
this seems a good way for Greek Hamipoi also
