Bataille Empire

I apologise for my post in English but I cannot speak French..

If an Austrian cavalry unit wishes to charge a French infantry unit, and the French have a unit of artillery that could opportunity fire on the Austrian cavalry, the rules indicate the fire would be counted as support fire in the shock resolution.

But in this forum a post seems to indicate the opportunity fire could be resolved separately.

Which is th case?

Thank you

Andrew

For this case, the first answer is apply.

the fire would be counted as support fire in the shock resolution. (+1 or +2 if grapeshot at any time of the charge)

Merci Talleyrand

I confirm also

What then happens if the target flees and the cavalry passes a control test and withdraws?

If they flee we are back to the discussion of the unlimbering battery raised in the French section of the forum. The realise to that post favour opportunity fire as the only way the potential supporters can shoot.
I would prefer not to have this. Hopefully the next version will be more specific.
