I though I had already done so... but to be Clare not you never do unless you got the +4 originally. You always go to a supporting file position.

Then over time you may eventually to the positions shown on page 132 and make one of the moves there.

Si

I appreciate everyone's patience in explaining this.  Ok so the key point that I think I was missing is that in my second example, billmen2, charging from the front of the knights end up as "supporting" files because they started in the front of the knights, and the knights are already engaged from the front.  So they wouldn't generate a charge outcome (get to roll a charge die).  In subsequent melee they would be a "supporting" file.  Then in a subsequent move, they could wheel to full front edge to side edge contact and follow the diagram on page 132.

As a side note, I think a couple of Pacto diagrams showing some of these trickier interactions, like multi UG charges, alignments and contacts would be very helpful.  I know the principles with Maximus are the same, but in practice how the bases end up interacting is a bit different.

Glad to have been able to help

Glad it makes sense. Once I get through the WW2 crunch I'll see if I can do a few more videos and diagram sets.
