Art De La Guerre

[Davros]

At the beginning of the active player's turn, a disordered infantry unit finds itself in front corner to front corner contact with an enemy cavalry unit (having routed the enemy unit directly in front of it in the previous turn).

The infantry now conforms to the cavalry. Can the player now spend two CPs to rally it? Or does the conforming count as a move, albeit one that costs no CPs?

And if that cavalry unit immediately evaded, would the cost of rallying the infantry unit drop to one CP?

A related situation is where a cavalry unit in the previous turn charged a medium spear unit whose front was half in terrain and half in the open, and only partially conformed to it in order to stay out of the terrain. This turn, the infantry is obliged to fully conform to the cavalry and leave the terrain. If it was disordered, can the infantry unit be rallied for two CPs?

On p45 we read that units can attempt to rally instead of moving. Rallying is not mentioned in the general movement rules on p27, nor in the types of movement a unit can make (pp28-32)

On p53 we read that a unit displaced by another unit conforming is free to "move as usual during its movement phase". This suggests that conforming is not the same a move.

But on p55 we read that, in most cases, this conforming is not compulsory and that "the player can choose to make another move... or not to move his units at all".

Maybe this is addressed somewhere in the rules, but I cannot find it. So, can a unit that has done nothing except conform, either to be in melee or to be a support, be rallied?

The conform after a mêlée is a zero cp move p55
So your move is to conform so cannot rally as well

Still a move. Multiple moves happen elsewhere too, such as evades.

This particular conform is in its own movement turn.
P55 say you can do this or another move or nothing at all.
