House Rules - Impetus 2

The above post is self-explanatory. I really like the house rule that if the number of dice for a firing unit is reduced to 0 or less, the firing unit can only cause disorder to the target when it rolls a hit. No cohesion test is performed. I would like to see that as the official rule.

Yes this has been a bugbear in our group for sometime. Targeted Skirmishers seem to suffer particularly.

I updated the document to include paragraph headers, and house rules regarding cohesion tests, and pursuit moves.

Movement
If this house rule for automatic countercharge was from one of my posts it was intended to apply only to impetuous troops all non impetuous troops test. For disordered impetuous foot to countercharge we also apply a -2 so to countercharge disordered impetuous foot start on a 5 + 1 for disorder -2(rule adjustment)=4 which puts them on a par with non disordered B class.
We don't give any extra adjustments to disordered mounted troops as they already have a -2 for being mounted to countercharge.

Another house rule we have regarding charges is that if the charging unit starts it's activation over 1H away from the target unit that unit will always be able to try countercharge. This is to avoid say a roman FP unit moving or restricting it's movement to end inside 1H then charge to deny say a unit of gallic warband the opportunity to countercharge. Under these circumstances we allow a reaction to countercharge if successful would move forward 1H pushing back the charging unit.
