Skirmishers are NOT considered a required target for frenzied units, but they are a required target for Fanatics or Wb(F) that have not yet fought an initial round of a close combat yet.

• If you have a Wb(F) or Fanatic army, it is wise to screen your units with SI or SC of your own to deal with the enemy skirmishers or you will find yourself wasting all your orders on Recovers to keep your troops from fruitlessly charging skirmishers they can never catch!

• Remember, if you charge and fail to contact, you are disordered. Three charges with Fanatics and you are exhausted (translates to routed). The rules state that Fragmented units may not be ISSUED orders, but Fanatics charge automatically, thus not needing orders, so you keep attacking until you hit something, or are exhausted (rout).

Frenzied skirmish infantry will move up to their closest firing range of the nearest enemy.

• They are not required to charge closer ordered foot or any cavalry (as they are destroyed if contacted by these units).

• If the frenzied SI are charged or moved into, they will lose their frenzied marker immediately and retreat.
