KaB tests and Pursuits question

[Chevalier de la Terre]

A couple of rules questions regarding: KaB test & distance, and shooting at pursuers-becoming-chargers.

Situation is four Loose Cavalry TuGs (Goths top, Romans bottom) fighting melee with one Roman archer TuG somewhat back to the right and another Roman Cav TuG more than 5 BW back at the rear.

Both Roman Cav TuGs up front break (during 2nd round melee). The left-most (blue cape) TuG routs 5 BW, the right-most routs 4 BW. The Archer TuG is within 3 BW of the right-most Cav TuG, so take a KaB test, and another(?) for friends passing through them on the rout move, I believe.


Q1. Do the archers and rear-most Cav TuG take KaB tests for the left-most (blue cape) Roman Cav unit breaking? Since although they are outside of 3 BW of the initial starting point, the are within 3 BW of the path of the rout and my opponent thought this qualified (i.e. he maintains that all units along the path of rout within 3 BW must take KaB tests). Per rules p. 165. point 5 I don't think so since it says the position at the beginning of the phase. But my opponent remembers Simon Hall playing it this way so I'm asking.

Q. 2 The right-most Goth TuG pursues into the Archer TuG, being resolved in the next Charge Phase. Can the archers shoot during that Charge as they usually could, or do the pursuers block their fire? i.e. Pursuit moves, p. 167, Point 8 (couldn't find that during the game!).

Situation recreated from memory, pic below is a guide to what I mean.

1. Units within 3BW of a broken TUG's initial position, and/or passed through by a fleeing TUG take a KAB test. so no, there is not a 3BW bubble that follows a TUG as it flees.
2.Shooting units can only react by shooting during step 2.5 Shoot Chargers, which occurs after charges are declared but before they move. Pursuers do not trigger reaction fire as pursuit moves happen after step 2.5
