Pursue question
« on: February 03, 2010, 03:30:53 PM »
Hy

Is it ok to make a pursue charge only corner by corner, or must there be minimum 1cm free space to get into contact?

cheers stefan

An advance charge is still a charge, you cannot charge a corner...

You shoud really read the rules here. The most updated I suggest.
Generally the answer for your question is: "no, but..."

It can happen that pursuit is impossible. This is usually
because it is not possible to place a pursuer into front
edge to enemy edge contact – for example if the enemy
unit has already been pursued by other friendly units and
is surrounded. Remember – corner-to-corner contact will
not suffice to maintain pursuit, at least one pursuing
stand must be able to bring its front edge into contact
with an enemy edge. Where a unit cannot re-establish
contact with a retreating enemy unit it cannot pursue.

but
Sometimes it will be possible to move some but not all
stands of a pursuing unit as described because of the
position of other units (friend or foe) or because of
impassable terrain. Any stands that cannot be placed as
described must be placed in formation with their unit,
but otherwise can be positioned as the player wishes. So
long as at least one stand from their unit is already in
front edge contact, stands unable to move into front edge
to edge contact can be placed in front corner-to-corner
contact if circumstances permit, allowing them to fight in
the following round. A unit is not permitted to pursue if
it can only maintain contact by corner-to-corner contact
–at least one stand must have front edge to enemy edge
contact in order to pursue. See Diagram 48.1.
