When a unit of Skirmishers charges or is charged by a Lance, the Skirmishers will not form up once contact has been made. Instead, each Skirmisher is moved as directly as possible towards the Lance in order to make base contact with it and with one another.
Models that can make base contact with the Lance are within the fighting rank. Models that cannot are placed behind the fighting rank.
Note that Skirmishers cannot blunt a Lance.
