From a pacto game.
Bowmen deploy with stakes in front of them.
During the game, they rotate 90deg to the right.
1 - If later on they are charged from the top and into their flank, do the stakes still provide protection vs. cavalry?
2 - Can they later deploy the stakes to their front? and if yes, do the deployed stakes "move" or is a new set created?

pg 209 . Stakes are to the front only . So if you turn 90°, you "loose" the defensive benefit of the stakes and will have to put some new ones ..;to the front
Indeed so. Best ot to get charged from the flank or rear ...
Yep, makes sense, thanks for the answers. The way I was reading the rules I wasn't sure whether the "to the front" restrictions only applied at deploy time, or always.
