Pursuing into a flank

[nikgaukroger]

because it's a discussion around a point of rules that needs a clear ruling for everyone

I don't think anyone is going to argue with that 

RJC is back from hols next week so I'll see if he and I can have a discussion and decide what to rule on this soon.

Forgot to comment on this.

4J is concerning the mouvement phase 4.3 and the melee combat that will occur in 5.2

If the actions allowed by 4J are not considered to create a combat until the fighting phase, I think it would mean that a unit contacted by one of the 4J moves could still make M moves. It would also apply to contact created in the shooting phase (not common, but possible).

But as I said earlier, with any luck RJC and I can talk next week and sort this out.

I don't think it is unreasonable that a unit contacted as a result of pursuit could get a chance to respond, cards permitting (and of course they may also suffer bad things as a result of KaB test).

And I would hope we don't end up in a situation where e.g. two opposing units each break their frontal opponent and end up in only front corner to front corner contact; and then whoever moves first contacts the flank of the opponent and the opponent is denied a chance to respond effectively.
