Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

[Doug]

As a new player, I would appreciate a synopsis of what the varience
is between the author's intended reading and what Don reads into
their words. Otherwise I don't know which way I am seeing it.

OTOH the discord apparently has to do with situations that don't
occur very often, so its probably something that I wouldn't "see" at
my level of game understanding anyway.

The crux of it comes down to when to apply the concept of fit. I am reading
it very rigidly in that you do it after all the concepts of 6.165 are
resolved. Jon (and the general playing population at large)applies fit in
instances where the proxomity of other bodies prevents full pivoting to
conform or lining up (I hope I am getting this right Jon). He and I are
both I think on the same wavelength here, we are just wordsmithing to see if
there are wording loopholes that need to be closed.

As too whether it comes up often or not, I think a lot of that depends on
how your games go. If you tend to stay in nice dressed formations, you will
not enocounter it much. It comes up when the pretty lines start to fall
into disarray (which happens to my army distressingly to often!).

IMHO the hard part about the wording is that almost everyone can look at a
given unit geometry on the board and "know" what the correct resolution
should be. Its saying it with a "black and white applies to all situations"
rule that can be confounding.
