I really just want to know though if this is the designers intent.

Can't see anything in the situation that would be unintentional.

Covered by a general principle of if you screw up badly it's going to hurt I think  :P

See previous post - enemy can displace me, but I cannot displace myself - which seems odd.
Isn't it the same troops doing the same thing, just using two differing game mechanisms?

SuGs will ruin away from enemy bit not you... your guys are not going to kill them!
Not so odd.

Fair enough if this is how you intend it to work..
I do not think it's a good ruling but it is a ruling.

That's not a ruling.  Just explaining why the two don't have to be similar.
I have just scrolled up so can look at your scenario.

Yes that is the only way under the current ruling.

Is that what Simon intends?

Actual yes it is exactly the intent.

I see LF used a lot as screens in front of heavies but LH not so. 
Therefore you need to be careful and leave the means for them to get away is sitting in front of the cataphracts.

In the same way I have kept the onus on players to be able to get skirmishers out of the way before charging.

So both put the emphasis on coordinating your SuGs and TuGs not to get in a mess.

FWIW I usually put the SUGs either at an angle or overlapping by 1/2BW so they can retire when ready.
