On steep enough hills/mountains, and/or with tired enough troops, they won't get up to sufficient speed - and you won't see any charge benefit. With shallower hills, and with fresh troops, they'll get the extra attack. Under poorer circumstances, they won't. Clear?!?
As crystal! As it turns out, I did not know that. I will adjust tactics accordingly. Thank you sir.
