The Pursuer evade skill for pit fighters

Hi all,

I'm am playing with the Pit Fighter Warband TC 21. Here the Pursuer evade skill reads:

"When an enemy charges a pursuer he may choose to try to evade. On a successful Initiative test it is considered a failed charge and the normal rules apply."

1) Do you think a pursuer can evade as many chargers as he would like?

2) Do you think he can evade even when he is already engaged in close combat?

I would very much like to hear your thoughts.

1) Do you think a pursuer can evade as many chargers as he would like?
Yes.

2) Do you think he can evade even when he is already engaged in close combat?
We play it that he may not.

Mostly we shoot them or forced them to intercept a charge.
