Two quick ones, I wanted to confirm I played this correctly
1 - The knights just obliterated a TUG in the Charge phase. They must pursue their full move since they're devastating chargers and so they run into the longbow TUG which has deployed stakes to its front. The charge starts in front of the TUG, so it does not get any flank bonuses when it makes contact and fights as if to the front. Do the Stakes apply? I played as yes because the fight is treated as "to the front" even though the contact is made with the side edge of the longbow TUG. Is this correct?
2 - The Men at Arms TUG charges the skirmishing Cbs standing in front of a pikemen TUG. The Cbs try to skirmish and move back. a - are they allowed to move through the friendly TUG without KaBs? or with KaBs? or Not at all? It's not a prompted move, but it's infantry. b - they don't have sufficient move to make it through because of variable move. Do they get stuck in front of the pikes and destroyed on contact by the Men at Arms? That is how I played it.
Thanks!

Point 1 : if we follow the rules very stickly, the knights should have a bad day as there are stakes and the contact is considered to the front . Now what makes me wonder is the fact that they contact frontally the second rank . So if they contact the first rank even on the side, no worry, frontal and stakes. The second rank ..frontal and I wonder .
Point 2 : foor SK can go trough and TUS/SUG can go trough foot SUG without any problems . If the foot SUG skirmish/flee have a look at PG 110 point 4 . Even if they enter the TUG only partially, they go trough . So they would have survived.
Ah thanks! Yes, for point 2 I missed that section, it's pretty clear. And for point 1, would be good to confirm that hitting the second base still confers the stakes bonus.
The rules for stakes talk about contacting the TuG frontally, not about contacting the first rank. So it seems pretty clear to me that stakes count in any frontal contact, regardless of whether it is the first or second rank.
