UNIT INTEGRITY - English Civil War
2	3	4
All Artillery	All Horse, Lancers, Cuirassiers, and Dragoons	Foot, Commanded Shot, Commanded Pike

Special Rules pertaining to Fire - English Civil War

Arc of Fire: Straight ahead only for Infantry, Guns 45 degrees to either side. If any part of the target is in the field of fire, it may be shot at.

Salvo Fire: Limited to 0-4” range; must be Commanded Shot or Shot Forward.  * Not allowed for Raw units.

Special Rules pertaining to Melee - English Civil War

Gallopers: Receive the Up 1 modifier when they initiate a Melee; May immediate melee on a won Even roll

Trotters: Both sides roll their Defense Die. If the Trotters roll higher, they recieve Up 1 for initiating melee.

Highlanders: If an army contains Highlanders, add the Frenzied Charge Card  - see pg 74.

Scottish Lancers: Only receive the Up 1 modifier for initiating melee when doing so in Class I (open) terrain

Special Rules pertaining to Movement - English Civil War

Guns:  Once unlimbered, guns cannot be limbered and repositioned. They may change facing as usual.

Immediate Melee: Commanded Pike, Foot, Lancers and Gallopers may immediate melee on won/Even roll.

Interpenetration: Horse and Foot units may not interpenetrate each other or their own type.

Movement Disorder: Foot, Commanded Pike , Commanded Shot, dismounted Dragoons and Guns changing facing must roll their Defense Die vs a D6; if they do not beat the D6 roll, they become Movement Disordered. This Movement Disorder is automatically  removed on a Leadership Card, provided no Rally attempts are failed by that Leader on a roll of “1”.

Movement in Terrain: Guns and Horse treat Class II terrain as class III, and Class III as impassable. Foot and Commanded Pike treat Class II woods as Class III, and Class III woods as impassable.

Hedgerows: See pg 34, stop on reaching and exiting hedges, it takes a full segment to cross as well.

Special Rules pertaining to Leadership - English Civil War

Command Radius: is just the LD rating in inches (half the usual).

Foot Rally Modifier: Foot units receive an UP 1 modifier if there are 2 friendly Foot units within 6”

Maneuver Disorder: Recovered automatically after all other Rally attempts are completed. If a “1” is rolled for any preceding Rally attempt by that Leader, Maneuver Disorder may not be recovered on this card.

*For the ECW in particular, I would also suggest considering using the optional Pursuit rule in FoB3, found on page 58; essentially if the winning unit rolls odd in the final round of melee, it loses UI equal to that suffered by the loser, but loses no Morale Points for same.
