there they are follow me ?

 ??? Can someone explain this rule, what it is supposed to represent and how to use it correctly? I have been interpreting this incorrectly as was shown in a recent game I played.

As I understand it, you move an impetuous element using pips into the anticipated path of the spontaneous move of a 2nd element, and face it in the desired direction.

Then the 2nd element moves spontaneously , contacts the first element and pivots to face the same way. If you do it right, you get a pile-up of spontaneous elements all hitting each other and pivoting to face the new direction.

On your next bound, you can let them all go spontaneous straight ahead (i.e. in the new direction).

It is supposed to represent a leader influencing the impetuous mob to follow him in a disorganised way, hence "There they are, follow me!"

Yep - that sums it up.

It's pertty simple if you have the PIPs...really frustrating if you don't since (compared to DBM) impetuous elements no longer "starburst"

It makes impetuosity more of a disadvantage than it was in DBM - no more Norman Mounted Display Teams.
