Helborn,
Hcobb was not asking about how many can be pushed back. That part of the rules is clear. Strictly based on ST. He was simply asking if a pushed poleman looses his standing against a charge status.

Hi Hcobb,
The spearman that got pushed did not move, he was moved. I would still give him the +2 DX. I see it like this real world situation: It is like a horseman charging into a spearman. If the spearman fails his roll he was knocked down. If he doesn't he has a chance to impale the horse or rider. Or from a rules perspective I see that the spearman did not move during his movement phase and thus is entitled to the actions that require zero movement.

Would you say an archer that moved one hex but then got pushes by an ogre is not entitled to his lost shot with the bow because now his move + push equals two hexes? But an archer that did not move and was push CAN fire his last shot?

My opinion.
