overlap or not overlap

[badhabum]

A TUG of  shooters is being charged ( or a TUG of spearmen next to it ) .

The charge phase is done

Now shooting phase : the "overlap" base is it already considered as "overlap" and may not shoot or as the first melee phase as not yet happened may it shoot till the very first phase has happened

I would say : it is in overlap so may not shoot but not everyone agrees

You are correct.

You are a supporting file as soon as you are in a position to be one.



It is in the clarries PDF as well for those who are not using the PDF rules.

Thank you

And that reminds me of another discussion about shooty bases as overlap : may it or not shoot if charged ..I would say yes it shoots at it's opponent but did not find it written clearly so ask

The restriction on supporting files that says they cannot shoot only references the Shooting Phase and not other phases. It's in the shooting section.
