Opportunity Charge
Cavalry may attempt an opportunity charge
on limbered artillery that come within charge range. The British hussars attempt to charge the
guard artillery. They passed the morale
test to do so, but when they then checked the distance they were just out of
range. They must however move forward a
quarter move before they can halt.
Rule 6 covers opportunity charges
