OK so yes ..I was thinking why a Slowing down for the UG that pursues ..and forgot that that UG could have seen a friendly UG going pooofff

I suppose in theory someone might inflict a slow with their "shoot and charge", then get broken in the melee.

When charging you can be slowed down by defensive firing or by a shoot and charge from your opponent but that would affect only the charge move distance you can do .

If you break, it comes to a variable distance roll

Lawrence's suggestion is that you could charge in with Shoot & Charge at an opponent who is standing and in your shooting do enough to cause Slow(s) on the unit you charge - then, if you as the charger break in the same round the slows will still be there to apply to the opponents pursuit move if they have not moved.

That would be mixing 2 different rules :

Slowing effect of firing/KAB and VMD from SK/running away and breaking

Not sure it would simplify things  8)

It is what the rules require in that scenario - nothing to do with simplifying anything, just playing the rules.
