So if a 48 man unit (3 elements wide and 4 elements deep) goes into
orb such that there is now a 2 element front, 2 element back, a
second rank for each of these, 1 element to both sides also with a
2nd rank - is it correct that 48 figures are counted for cpf

No, 3 elements wide and 4 deep of MI is 36 for cpf - just like they were all
facing front.

Could you also clarify the number of figures counted for cpf
purposes. It would appear that all figures are counted as facing
the front.

So if a 48 man unit (3 elements wide and 4 elements deep) goes into
orb such that there is now a 2 element front, 2 element back, a
second rank for each of these, 1 element to both sides also with a
2nd rank - is it correct that 48 figures are counted for cpf
purposes?
