Actually the bug was that as long as the center banner man did not get engaged, everyone else in the unit continued too causing an infinite charge bonus. There was no need to actually attack but just let the unit run and done correctly one could wipe out enemy units in an instant.

It was introduced with the MTW 1.1 patch and removed in the VI 2.01 patch.

Since RTW it has not been possible to drag out a unit in less than 2 ranks.
