Suppose unit A is in melee against X and friendly unit B is in melee support (flank attack) against X while enemy Y is in melee support against A. If X routs during AB’s turn, can B choose to follow up instead of, or in addition to, A turning to face Y?

YYY
….AX
….AX
….AX
…...BBB

Y faces down
A faces right
X faces left and routs
B faces up.

It is player AB’s turn and X routs.

Question 1: Can player AB choose for B pursue instead of A turning to face Y? (Assume neither A nor B are impetuous or elephants.)

Question 2: Can player AB choose for B pursue in addition to A turning to face Y? (Assume neither A nor B are impetuous or elephants.)

Question 3: Does it matter to the answers above if either A or B are impetuous?

[Dickstick]

A cannot pursue.
Q1 B can pursue. Must if impetuous
Q2 yes
Q3 impetuous must pursue if able to.

Agree. A must turn "immediately". But B can (or must) pursue.
