I believe the argument is not that 3 is not in support, but rather that 2 is, and because it is not necessary for it to stay there, it may move on. Then 3 is in support position and so in support.

Per page 49, third bullet, a slide is preferred to a wheel if a slide allows it to avoid the obstacle. So it moves back one UD, sees the HI it cannot interpenetrate one UD away and now maneuvers to av ...

This depends on interpreting the HI as an obstacle in this context. Whilst such an interpretation may be reasonable in the circumstances, it would be overriding or ignoring the p67 formal definition ...

At least with the English rules, page 60 asserts only the main unit is "in melee" and therefore a unit in melee support will turn to flank/rear because it is not "in melee".

It is different for rectangularly shaped, straight edged “man made terrain” like fields and villages. You can exactly line the perfectly straight edge. As a result you can exactly leave with a 1 ...

Ambrose Burnside has views on this...though perhaps not the best argument...

In battle troops are say up to 16 deep in wide formations. This is not a formation that can benefit from a road

I think that roads are for strategic movement, and especially useful for supply wag ...

Ok but..

Terrain in a road for combat purposes is determined for the terrain underneath, in this case, is difficult?

I would say impassable, so you could not cross if defended.

Hi Tim,

I agree; it seems the only logical way.

IIRC it was Mike Bennett at Codgers who had been told that his taking of the camp didn't count because they had not reached the end of that tu ...

I would suggest that the commander can only be placed in ambush if all the units of the corps are in the same ambush. In this case the commander must be with the group, though does not count t ...
