I just posted the answer to you yourBeastmaster question on your other post.

A unit still gains its' shield bonus while routing or disordered the same way it would if it was not. Basically a unit gains the shield bonus as long it is being attacked to its' front , or flank. Units attacked from the rear gain no shield bonus. Note, wrapping models are considered to be attacking from the direction of the main part of the unit, not the flank or rear they may be located on.

From the FAQ: Multiple Weapons:

Q: When a unit (or character) has multiple weapons and/or shields, when do you decide the weapon will be used?

A: The owning player decides what equipment (weapons and/or shields) will be used when the unit is activated. If an earlier action would require the unit to decide before its activation, then it must keep that choice for the rest of the turn. Example: if a unit with double-handed weapons and shields was fired upon by a archer unit, then the player would have to decide to use the shield or not before rolling his Armor Save. If he chooses to use the shields, then the unit cannot use the double-handed weapons when it activates later in the turn.

When a unit engages in melee, it must retain the equipment choice for the duration of the melee. All models in a unit must use the same weapons/armor. So, you cannot use a shield if you used a Sling or bow earlier in the turn and vice versa.

A unit if 1 may not wrap. This is a common misconception, especially in the playgroup I play in. The rulebook states the unit with the first option to wrap following the initial round of melee, must wrap. So, a Hero is fighting a 10 man unit in the 2nd round of melee. The Hero activates first, he does not have the opportunity to warp and so does not. Later in the turn the 10 man unit activates, it has the opportunity to wrap and so must. Many think is the first unit in melee is activated, the opposing unit cannot wrap, not true. The rule state is a unit that has the opportunity to wrap must do so. In this case the 10 man unit has the opportuniy and so must wrap. This way character cannot hold off entire units. This isn't warhammer/herohammer...

Yes, you can Charge all you want, but if you do not make contact with an enemy you must pass a Disc. Save, or become disordered.

Ok. Actually not make an exception to the normal shield rules. But official confirmation could be great.

Wrong... rulebook page 26 "However it can use its shield during any other Turn, or if the model is engaged in melee combat."

My question is about the use of a melee weapon after have use a fire weapon in the Turn. If I read the end of the FAQ "When a unit engages in melee, it must retain the equipment choice for the duration of the melee." I could say you can use the equipement choice that you want. I only want counfirmation. I hope I'm understanding.

I don't think authorize 'unit of 1' could hold off entire units... If a 'unit of 1' could wrap around that can avoid some idiotic situations. I hope to have official confirmation.

Maybe... but to my opinion a FAQ must explain the page 42... "[...] advance at double its normal Move Value, in order to bring it into melee combat with an ennemy." and "If the player has misjudged the distance to the ennemy unit". Don't you think so?

This option for Spartan Phalanx unit add doubt to to the use of charge order "for advancing with risk".

Charging Advance: (25 pts.)
On the battlefield, a Phalanx with Charging Advance may declare a charge at an enemy unit that is further than their charge range but within their line-of-sight. The charge is conducted normally, and the unit must make a Discipline Save at the end of their Activation or become Disordered, each Turn that they do not make contact with the enemy. The target of the Charging Advance may not be changed; if the target changes or moves out of line-of-sight, the Phalanx must make another Discipline Save at a penalty of -1 at the start of their Activation Phase to change to a new target. If the Save is failed, the Phalanx immediately becomes disordered. When the Phalanx makes contact with their enemy, the Phalanx is maintained and all eligible models that can attack receive a charge bonus of +1 to their Attack Rating. Thereafter, the combat is conducted normally.
