 |

Hello All,
Apologies for yet another question, but I am very rusty rules-wise, and my new opponent is throwing up some challenging (to me anyway) situations.
So, an irregular LMI unit 4E wide by 2E deep turns 90 degrees into a one element wide column (facing West). The front element then uses its remaining 40 paces to wheel 45 degrees (now facing North West). Do the remaining elements automatically realign behind the lead element to face in the same direction (i.e. the unit doesn't have a 'kink' in it at the point of wheeling?
Many Thanks,
Raphael |

Yes, the remaining elements line up directly behind the end position of the wheeled front element. Informally, this is sometimes called "fishtailing".
It does have some consequences. If we were talking about a close order unit and the lineup caused the rear element to be placed in brush, then the unit would be disordered for example. It cannot "bend" to avoid the brush. |

Thanks Mark,
Most helpful. The unit in question is wheeling to avoid a wood. The rear 'fishtailing' back is actually a help in this situation as it allows a friendly unit to recoil out of the wood.
Regard,
