Title: Going from overlap into flank contact
Post by: garyp on December 08, 2020, 03:49:00 AM
I have a 3 file UG lined up neatly corner to corner in contact with a 2 file UG - so the 3 file UG will have a 1 file overlap.

If the combat goes into a second turn, can I wheel the overlapping file of the 3 file UG into contact with the flank of the 2 file UG - and if so, at what stage of the turn?

I think the answer is NO as this does seem to be specifically covered anywhere on the Prompted Action Table that i can see.

Thanks.

You need to look at 9.4M on page 132 of the rules.

Thanks for the reply Richard but this does not answer my question - it is referring to units in ONLY corner to corner contact I think? In my example, my 3 file UG is lined up in front edge to edge contact and also corners to corners with just the one file overlapping.

The overlapping file cannot lap round to a flank contact.

Suspect RJC was wrong footed by the corner to corner comment as most of the time that is used when describing whole UGs and not part of them - and it is a not uncommon question to ask what an UG just in corner to corner contact can do  :)

Thanks Nik - yes my original wording could have been better. Thanks for the confirmation.
