Dear Warmaster community,
My regular opponent and I often form brigades with some infantry units in an "L" formation, where two stands are side by side touching on the short edge, and a third stand is touching on the long edge of another stand.
Like this;
AAABBB
CCC
or this
AAA
BBBCCC
We have always considered this to be a regular formation, as the stands are flush with each other, but upon reading the rules in detail I am wondering if we have got this wrong.
This formation does not appear in any of the examples given in the rulebook (Warmaster or Warmaster ancients) for a regular formation.
So does this therefore mean that this is an irregular formation, reducing the unit to half pace?
Thoughts and comments welcome.

It's irregular. You'd be limited to half-pace moves (note that you can still charge your full-pace though).

Thanks Dave for the quick reply, I'll pass on the message to my opponent!

Sure Dave is right,
but ...what I understood units are regular or irregular. Brigades only say the units need to end conected.
If
AAABBB
CCC
A is in regular formation, B is in regular formation and C too, why do you consider A, B or C are in irregular formation?
-
Brigades like that are no problem, but he's asking about units.
The three letters represent one stand, not three stands (ie AAA is a single stand, not three in line). That confused me too for a second.

Ok,
all clear Dave, thanks!
