That is entirely optional unless one is routing. You need to make it
crystal clear to your opponent which way it is, however.

Thanks for the last answer on detachment movement and charging, but I
have another question - this one on detachment joining.

If a detachment and its parent unit come into contact in the
appropriate phase, they may form a joined unit. My question is, MUST
they form this unit? In other words, if a parent unit and detachment
are in base to base contact, can they still be considered separate
units at the player's option, or must they be a joined unit.

This could be important in certain situations. I was thinking that if
a LI detachment takes 2 shooting CPF's, chooses to recall, and during
it's recall move comes into contact with the parent unit without
sufficient movement to pass completely through it. Must this unit now
be joined to the parent unit, or could it simply be placed to the rear
of the parent and still be considered separate?

Thanks again

Peter
