Rash charge and Maneuvered charge
I am a bit confused by these two. I am not sure how or whom determines whether a charge is Rash or Maneuvered? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Rash charge and Maneuvered charge
Rash and Maneuver charges are two different ways a unit may move into contact with a enemy when it wishes to charge through other friendly units.
e.g. A unit of CM Cavalry wishes to charge through friendly S skirmishers stationed to their front into an enemy FL unit beyond.
The charger (unless impetuous) can choose either
A Rash charge: Which disorders the friendly unit he passes through, but lets the charging unit keep its impetus bonus (if its not cancelled for other reasons)
Or a maneuver charge. Which doesn't disorder the unit he interpenetrates, but reduces his impetus bonus down to 1 (again unless cancelled).
Worn troops suffer a -1 when maneuver charging through friends while
impetuous troops cannot maneuver charge at all (only rash charges for them).
That's how I understand it, someone will say if I've got it wrong

Re: Rash charge and Maneuvered charge
yes, correct.
The rash charge was the one performed by French cavalry through their crossbowmen at Crecy. Impetuous troops make only "uncontrolled" charges.
