Greetings to everyone!

I have a kind of question here.

The 3 mounted units are in the same army, the Cataphracts charge the front of the Bowmen, they need to conform to the left after the charge.

The question is, do a unit in a charging group that will end in simple support position force shift of a frienly unit or only units that charge to combat can force this kind of shifting?

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Good question. I don’t think they do, the just conform as far as they can and then fight. The bowmen will then conform on their turn.

The section in the rulebook on p52, titled "Conforming and Shifting Units" fully covers the situations where conforming a unit in combat can/will result in a friendly unit being shifted to accommodate the conformation.

The section in the rulebook on p50, titled "Definition" lists who conforms, with the 4th and 5th bullets spelling out that achieving a position of simple support may require conformation.
