Hi guys,
Simple one:
Do you have to conform to an enemy into a position where you would end up having another enemy unit on your flank or rear.
You are not in a ZoC at the start.

Thank you for your answer - is there a reference to the rule that covers this?

Impetuous units have an exemption from making an uncontrolled charge (p.46) if that would result in them ending in a conformation situation where they have enemy on their front AND their side/rear edge. So this does suggest the author wanting to avoid forced jaws-of-death conformation; this is reinforced by Lionel's response to your OP.
But I assume you are talking about a p.51 situation Conforming units already in contact. In your example the would-be conformer does NOT start within any enemy ZoC - so it can not use the errata exemption to avoid a jaws-of-death conformation.
There may be a lacuna in the p.51 errata - or not.
You'll be able to see a jaws of death conformation coming - so that may dictate how you spend the minimum of 1 CP that corps gets on activiation to avoid a forced JoD conformation. |

There appears to be nothing in the English edition of the rules around conforming units already in combat to suggest that units do not conform in such a situation.Â
It’s hard to imagine having anything more important to choose to spend your pips on if such a situation did crop up though ….!Â

Hi Tim,
I agree. Most people remember the uncontrolled charge exception and conflate it with general conformation.
I'm also happy if this is clarified that the unit does not have to conform. Clarity is all.
