If so, then I really don't understand why you would make yourself play with what feels like a bad ruling.

I think most people probably mostly agree, and I also think most people don't know, forget, avoid, and/or almost never get around to using the pike and/or mounted combat rules. I think many also don't know of forget the Push and Trample rules, and/or forget about using them when they are moving an NPC multi-hex figure.
I expect the differences might be in what we think about the details of how it should work, e.g.:
* Which weapons should get an attack before being pushed (someone said no javelins, some might want to include hand weapons...)?
* Should it require "set versus charge" or not, and what does that specifically mean (only polearms who didn't move a hex?).

If you use my one rule for trampling, HTH and slimes then it's all the same procedure. Slimes are unlikely to be stopped by a single hit so hop out of the way and hope you don't roll a 12 or more than your DX on two dice.

This is interesting and I like your attempt to improve HTH attempts, but I think the discussion belongs in its own thread in the House Rules subforum.
