I'm having doubts on the rules regarding both opportunity charges and flank attacks.
In this situation, 3 LC declare charge to a unit of infantry in column, one of the LC comes at 4 UD of an Heavy Cavalry that decided to opportunity charge. We need to solve this melee before moving the LC to contact the Infantry, and in the melee de HC wins.
If I'm not misreading the rulebook he make the pursuit for 1 UD and then can turn 45º and charge again. I'm I right?
Assuming I'm correct, can the HC charge the flank of LC that started the charge?
If so can the LC react?
If the LC didn't reacted, will this count as a flank attack (+4) for the HC?
Please correct the points I'm saying wrong, thank you very much!

Re: Oportunity Charge and flank attack
Hello Orlando,
In my opinion.
1. When Heavy Cv charges in oportunity the LC charged turn for counteratack, so the other two LC can continue the their charge against the infantry column or go to support the conmbat agains the HC, so the other two LC are not in this position when the combat is made
2. In case the situation, after the charge, would be in the forme you said.
2.A If I'm not misreading the rulebook he make the pursuit for 1 UD and then can turn 45º and charge again. I'm I right? YES
2.B Assuming I'm correct, can the HC charge the flank of LC that started the charge? YES
2.C If so can the LC react? YES, it can test for turn, not countercharge
2.D If the LC didn't reacted, will this count as a flank attack (+4) for the HC? YES
Best regards
