Page 37, continuing a charge. top left page. If there is going to be a clarification, (which I didn,t know so far) its fine. You have it in your hands and is about to be announced?

Yes, I saw it now, I wrote wrong page number. It is on page 36 and 37. The move to contact someone as a support is totally legal.That's not my argument of course.The argument is that when this happens simultaneously with a charge (corner to corner) on another enemy unit you can choose the support option instead of the charge. Again, if you have a clarification, glad to read it.

If Y was a light infantry unit (or a LMI bow) wanting to move into a support position with X, and B is NOT light troops (or troops LMI bow aren’t permitted to contact frontally), would Y be permitted to make corner to corner contact with B even though it opts to support Y?

After DT check :
For this specific case, if unit Y move in corner to corner contact with both A and B, as B is not fighting anyone, it is a legal contact and Y has to conform to B.
It is not optional, it is mandatory.

This needs to be added to the FAQ as most of us have been getting it wrong.

If X and Y were a group which hit A on the edge and B on the corner only would Y still split from X and align on B

Mike, in Greece since we started playing ADLG , about two years ago, we all played it this way. In our example when units X and Y as a group, contact units A and B (B on its corner by Y) the units split, because we have 2 different charges that have to be resolved. We never considered unit Y to stay in support position in spite its charge on B.

Variant on a theme.

Units X and Y charge as a group but are offset vs A and B so they both contact A, with X having the main contact. Y does not contact B at all at this stage. X and Y used all their movement to make contact. They now conform using the extra 1UD allowed. So Y slides across, now contacting B - I assume it therefore becomes a charge on B and must conform. However it doesn't have enough movement to fully conform so just moves as far as it can, fighting in that position.

Correct?

Just for completeness, I have already raised this and an even more extreme example with the TB.

Zoltans post raises another query. A unit kills its opponent and pursues into the gap. One of the enemy units its now in side edge contact with also kills its opponent so is now unengaged. Is it mandatory to conform to the unit that pursued?

I think the TB ruling has complicated things and is a mistake.
