Hello fellow mesbgers, yesterday I went to my first tournament, played beornings. My last game was vs khand/saruman alliance. My opponent insisted that the bears cannot knock down the chariot riders with their monstrous charge as they also have it and it "evens out". Him being a veteran I didn't question it (plus I know the guy from other systems) but I haven't been able to find a corrispondence for this rule anywhere.
So I guess I'm asking for a rules check in hindsight. Thanks for any answers :)
The chariot does indeed have monstrous charge, but your opponent mis-interpreted the rules. With normal cavalry charging one another, they do not get the bonus knock to the ground ("cancelling it out"). With two monstrous charge models fighting each other, if the model charging has higher strength, the other can be knocked to the ground. The chariot is only strength 3, so your bears should have been able to knock the chariots over.
