|
You have a melee. with 3 units
Units A1 and B1 are in front to front contact (in melee)
Unit A2 is in side to side contact with B1 providing simple support
The Question: Is unit A2 allowed to conform onto flank of B1 (front edge to flank) to provide melee support for free or does it cost !CP to do so ? |

Cut and dried. It must pay to conform. |

Under what circumstances is such a conformation free then ? |

Page 51, conforming units already in contact.
"a unit may still be in contact with an enemy without being either in melee or in a position to support a friend in melee"
That is when you conform. If you are side edge to side edge and the enemy is not in melee (and you are not supporting a friend in melee on the other side) you do so for "free" if you do not do anything else.
Look at the diagrams on that page. The upper one is a case where you do conform (A2) and the lower diagram shows why A1 does not. See A3 in the lower diagram? |
