sug with a tug, block moves

Hi,

when making a block move, it is possible to change the relative positions of units in the block (for example, if I have a block with unit A and B, I could move unit A 3BW ahead and unit B 2BW ahead so it remains in flank contact with A but with front 1BW behint ).

same question when moving a sug with a tug. For example, if I have tugA sugB moving ahead, could I use superior movement of sug to do a double wheel and switch from right to left side, ending as sugB tugA ? Or maybe if I have a column with SugB ahead of TugA, could I move it behind (or vice versa).

Either way, do moving a sug with a tug follows the same rules/limitations of a block move, or there are substantial differences?

(if I didn't made myself clear enough I can draw some diagrams... )

This was resolved in the clarifications.  In an Advance, all UGs must move the same distance and in the same direction.  If wheeling, they must all wheel by the same angle.

For a block move, I think the heuristic is the block moves as a block, as if it was a single UG.

For a TuG moving singly, but bringing a SuG with it (so technically not a "block move"), I assume the pair follows the same restrictions as a block, but I'm not sure if this is made explicit anywhere.
