Warrior Ancient and Medieval Rules

Your pics are excellent as always.

In both cases you have the resolution absolutely correct. In these two
cases, there is nothing to the 'right' of the 'friends' getting 'pulled out'.
There is no terrain feature or body to prevent the target from lining
up/pivoting and so it does.

If there had been a body/terrain feature to the 'right' of the target getting
pulled, the charger may not have fit in the space 'between' them and that
situation may have made the charge illegal. From a 'fit' standpoint.

All should note that this (philosophically) gives the edge to chargers and
penalizes (in addition to the beyond the rules concept of support)
'defenders' who leave open spaces for charges to fit. The body who has just
10mm of face beyond the edge of the LI should have been entirely behind it,
if it wanted protection from it. The body angled behind a friend in example
1 may be perceived by some to be able to derive full protection from such a
position, but the authors of Warrior look at such a situation and see an
exposed unit.

Mechanically, Warrior is designed to 'reward' solid, supported lines of
attackers and defenders. Small, isolated 'clumps' of bodies with exposed
'faces' are in trouble. That is exactly the way we want it.
