Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Dwyight]

Here is the situation,

A unit of Thracian light cavalry (one rank deep) is engaged in melee with a unit of Midianite light infantry. On the second bound, the Thracian light cavalry is charged in the flank by Midianite cavalry (two ranks deep).

Does the Midianite camelry get support shooting on its first bound?

No.

From 8.3:

The following are not eligible shooting targets:
• Elements in hand-to-hand contact throughout the bound
other than only at their base corner (except elephants).
This means that if every element of a body is in hand-tohand
contact, it cannot be shot. Conversely, a body in
hand-to-hand contact is only an eligible target if it is an
elephant body or if one or more of its visible elements is
NOT in contact.
