Dear all,
On page 3 is said that a blocking enemy not in close combat must be moved the minimum necessary to allow legal contact. Why isn't it applied on figure 7? Bow A should be moved behind Bw B and then Wb Y could legally contact P. Right?
Thank you.

A couple of reasons - moving Bw A out of the way would mean that Wb X wouldn't contact it, and that's not a desireable outcome either - clearly WbX should be able to contact Bw A.
Also there is no room to move Bw A behind B - the gap it too small, and there is no pivot or slide that would still allow X to contact B and Y to contact P.

I agree. But being not desirable doesn't mean illegal, I'm afraid :-[

I see. You're right, there's not enough space. Thank you again.
