The rules say Expendable Levies can’t contact enemy. However, can they conform? For example if at the end of melee the friend fighting the enemy died leaving the Expendable Levies alone in corner-corner or side edge to side edge, can they conform onto the enemy’s front edge or flank?

The rules don’t seem to prohibit conforming.

What about if the enemy is still in combat with another friend to the front and the Expendable Levy is side edge to side edge with the enemy flank? Can the Expendable Levy turn into the enemy flank and cause a flank attack?

The expendable is already in contact so I believe it can remain in contact.

Difficult to see how side edge contact for the expendable was achieved. It's got to be so rare as not going to be a worry about troubling the rules for an answer.

Levies expendable follow all conforming rules.

I'm looking at this in preparation of summarizing it and I realize the root problem is the text on page 42:

I heard MEG has a Xmas offer of an expansion with expendable levies with optional confirmation

What part of "This isn't a live game where a referee's snap decision would be useful. Can we have some thoughts on the ramifications of this dusty corner which is obviously inconsistent?" do you not understand? How exactly does a WWg conform?? (I'm assume it does not, but page 51 implies that possibility and I can't find a prohibition elsewhere.)
Apparently, you feel it's not your job to collect places where the rules could be clarified and improved. But please stop gaslighting away every issue.

I've overlooked the new errata, Bladed WWg cannot conform from non-melee contact. They must pay 1CP to move. Perhaps page 53 is supposed to say "cannot conform" rather than do not have to conform". Translation error?
And on page 54 we find the prohibition of any WWg to conform from non-melee contact.

Rutabagas unite!

Ok, so this is another super rare situation where

one of the few armies that have expendable levies has
placed one of these units beside a friendly unit that is then
charged (placing the expendable unit in support) and then
the friendly unit is destroyed in the enemy’s turn, leaving the expendable levy unit in contact with an enemy

If all these conditions are met, as Lionelrus has so eloquently said, the expendable unit can conform like any other unit.

And a Merry Christmas / Joyeux Noel to all.
