Conforming question

[landmeister]

Dear all,

I have some questions about conformung elements. I include a wonderful diagarm below  . My elements are the grey ones (so enemies are white  ).

I want to move group 1-4 into contact with group A-D, but two elements are fighting partially in front os A. A's TZ is not obstructed, so 1 is pinned by it, but 1 cannot conform to A's front. What's the correct option?

1. Group A-D is lined up to fight against 1-4 as per bullet three of front edge contact.

2. Element 1 is moved behind element 2 and then group 1-4 is lined up against A-D (2 vs B, 3 vs C and 4 vs D) as per point c) of extra move to line up

Thank you very much.

This is covered by Moving Into Close Combat on page 33. Enemy elements which are in the way and also that are not in close combat are moved out of the way.

As this doesn't apply to the situation you've described, element 1 is unable to move into contact. If element 1's current position prevents elements 2-4 from aligning after making contact, then you'll have to move element 1 backwards to make the space.

Thank you for your response, but third bullet says: "When an element contacts an enemy front edge, but is obstructed from lining up front corner-to-front corner by other enemy elements,...[..]..., the enemy contacted or obstructing lining up, must conform instead if they can."

Your interpretation was my first response to the problem but my opponent said that al conditions specified in this thir bullet are accomplished, so why can't it be used? This means that group A-D should conform to 1-4. 

What am I missing?

Nothing - A-D should move across to conform.

Nothing - A-D should move across to conform.

Phew! Thank you

Apologies - I missed that dot point.
