Heavy artillery cannot move but can pivot in place. If a heavy artillery unit is at the end of a group of infantry (i.e. part of the group) can it pivot on its center as the rest of the group wheels?

Something like the following?

A12

2
1
A

Is it a 1 command pip move?
I assume the answer is yes, but it is a bit different than a normal wheel.

I think that heavy artillery can move (pivot) only alone, not as a part of group.

Intersting question!!!

In fact an Heavy Artillery pivot on his central axis but the rules say that pivot for a group is made with a front corner which does not move during the pivot move.

Heaven, it is seem a wrong move, nothing forbid it in the rules: need to be cleared in the FAQ.

You can read in the "troops description" chapter , that only light and medium artilery can move ,and that heavy artilery is static. Consequently only light and medium art. can perform a pivot as a group move, for :
-they can form a group with infantry
-they can move
-as mobile artilery they can pivot on a front corner

Heavy artilery can only pivot on his central axis (which arises many other questions : for example by doing so, is it allowed to overlap neighbouring units ?)

You can also read p 33 where it says heavy artillery can only wheel individually.

So no group move.
