Can a unit in block or shield wall formation charge an enemy unit?
* This is actually impossible per the rules. A unit must maintain a 3″ sphere of influence distance from a unit it is not charging. A unit in shield wall or block will halve its usual 5″ (close order) movement, resulting in movement allowance of 2.5″. Therefore, a unit in block or shield wall can never reach an enemy unit since it will always start further away than it can move. This is an intentional design consideration in that blocks and shield walls in this period would not charge. These are not Renaissance pike blocks.
