SUG run away path

[Paul]

Hi , reasonably new to Meg so please bear with me. I had a SUG which was in front of another enemy SUG (1 BW apart). An enemy TUG declared a Charge into the rear from a 45 degree angle coming into the rear right of my SUG. Could I run away along the path of the charge and wheel to avoid the enemy SUG? There was plenty of open space on my left side and down the
left side of the enemy SUG.

Welcome Paul,

No problem, feel free to ask away.

You can always wheel and run away in the direction of the charge.  The only issue would be whether the enemy SuG would be in the way. You can use the universal half base width shift to avoid enemy if you are skirmishing or running away.  If you cannot avoid the enemy SuG and choose to run away in that direction you would stop "a gnat's whisker" away from the enemy SuG (but may be caught by the enemy TuG and destroyed).

Hope that helps.

Could the SUG turn and then wheel onto the path of charge as turns are allowed as part of skirmish/run-away responses.

Also, although it does not apply in the case described, the half base shift in a skirmish/run-away only applies to avoid non-charging enemy. Mention it as it is sometimes forgotten.

does the wording 'Turning/wheeling to align with the marked direction of charge' allow the sug to turn 90 degrees, then wheel from there to align with the charge and scoot past the enemy sug that way?

Yes, a turn might help to avoid the enemy SuG.

A 90 dégrées Turn is subject to mouvement réduction related to UG Frontage as per mvt rule for 90 turn ?
Is it ? So both  turn and wheel ? Would it move farther from thé charger ?

As I understand this turn and wheel Would résult in réduction by 2UD, maybe three; then ,thé length of thé wheel ; another  2UD , maybe moré ...and due to footprint of thé évader , not actually much farther from charger ...

May you state actual case pléase , I may be sleepy but i dont get thé picture right 😌

as the turn is not a prompted move, I do not believe its consumes any move distance 'Turning/wheeling to align with the marked direction of charge (turns consume no distance but wheels are measured as with any other move).'
