I have taken out the mist be over 1BW as Jacques Willpute rightly points out it is gamble and will lead to people just coming close to stop it ever happening ... hence now as follows ...
Quote12. SHOOT & CHARGE (inc. charge-only shooters)
Shoot & charge covers troops who were adept at firing a volley and following it with a charge to take immediate advantage of the effect of their shooting. The charge was still their primary fighting method, but with a softening up effect immediately beforehand. Byzantines and Aztecs both operated this way.
1. troops must start within shooting range from targets to use shoot & charge.
2. the UG shoots immediately from its current position and range when they declare a charge.
3. for added clarity, generals may prompt through fire to recover any slowing effect caused by shoot & charge.
4. shoot & charge cannot be used with a countercharge or intercept, which we deem to be a hurried response not allowing the time for their normal prepared charge to be carried out.
5. shoot&charge is an automatic characteristic (free) for troops who have charge-only shooting.
