Hi Witold - My apologies. It is only the Swedish and Tartar commanders in the main rule book who have the special rule for shooting while charging (Pistols for Swedish and Bows for Tartar). 'Many' was certainly an over exaggeration!
In my defence, I have been playing mostly Swedish and Tartars lately…
Ok, now it's clear for me that you use 1st short-run print of BFaS English rules. I even had no chance to see it when I started to work with English rules (because of low number of copies it has been sold really quickly as I know)
The thing is, in Revised Edition there are no 'Shooting while charging' Special Rules for commanders mentioned above any more. And even if they would be - in my opinion - there's no possibility to use them since
"Commanders may not initiate Charges by themselves." sentence has been placed into mentioned paragraph. So - correct me if I'm wrong - all this dispute is pointless now?

and one basic wording question: why did you name the "regeneration" as "reorganization"? this is especially confusing as it is actually done in the starting step, and not, as one would think, in the reorganization step. I would strongly recommend to rename it regeneration, or something that does not have a step named the same where it does not occur in.
Well, maybe you're right. Although probably no one ever asked about it earlier. But see: at this moment it would only make a mess between old and new players (even between these old ones too!) I'm afraid. This edition has only aim of "update rules", not "rewrite them". So, I see no chance now. It might be a good question for 2nd Edition.

Commander ammunition: If a commander was attached and participated in several turns of ammunition spending, but becomes detached again: Is his personal ammunition reduced the same way "his" unit's ammo was reduced? or does he maintain his four shots?
Since
"A Unit with an attached Commander receives an additional die in Close Combat and Shooting (in each Combat Phase)" (GE, p. 91) means that a commander doesn't shoot himself - just adds a combat die to the Unit - so attached commander don't use his ammo limit.
