Flexibles

[Stephen T]

In our last game a few questions arose over flexible cavalry in skirmish formation.
1.   Is it treated like a SUG and therefore disperses if contacted by a charging TUG when skirmishing or running away from a charge or Is normal combat resolved?
2.   Does it still require more than one half casualties to break if in skirmish formation?
3.   If fighting a SUG doe sit get the +2 in combat for TUG versus SUG?
4.   Is its movement rate 5 as a TUG but 6 If in skirmish?

Thanks.

1.  No.  It fights, but as a SuG.
2. Yes.
3. Not if in skirmish formation.
4 Yes.

I found the above useful but I have an additional point that I'd be grateful for some clarification on. 

Can a flexible TUG in skirmish formation be pushed or pulled along (i.e. TUG a SUG) by another TUG that's not in skirmish formation?

I suspect the answer is "no" as it's not explicitly stated in which case they could presumably be part of a block move instead.

9.11 J.8 (page 186).  A TuG in skirmish formation can be TuGged by a TuG (including TuGs not in skirmish formation).

I missed that caveat! Thanks Richard.
