I recall a huge thread about what constituted adherence to the rule
about "marching. Is Ewan's tactic kosher or not?

Working on the clarification update, it has come to my attention that
some players are using the wording of the march portion of 4.52 to
march laterally to the enemy and just slightly reduce the distance
between the marcher and an enemy body. This behavior is the very
worst sort of gaming, for one thing.

For another, 'maximum' and 'entirely' in that sentence mean exactly
that - you pick an enemy body and you move entirely toward it, not a
little toward it and a lot toward something else. And you move all
of the march move you can toward that body - which is what maximum
means.
You don't have to march that way just to do a march, but you do have
to march that way for that march to qualify as an advance under 4.52.

I will 'clarify' this in the next update. As soon as I find better
words that the ones there, which I do not find confusing.

You guys, especially those with these scoundrels in your play groups,
can feel free to recommend wording for the clarifications.

And if you are someone who has done or would do what I described
above and you are offended by me calling what you did the worst sort
of gaming or calling you a scoundrel - good. It was entirely
intentional.

political corruption spawned by the last 30+ years of liberal
Democrat autocracy.

I am refining the clarification on marches as advances for orders purposes,
but given the right circumstances, it is 'possible'....
