Geometry question

[jrd]

Is it permissible for a rear corner of a moving battlegroup to briefly interpenetrate a friendly battlegroup? I have always played that is was, but I can't find anything in the rules to support this view. I played a game yesterday without allowing this, but this caused some very frustrating problems...

Situation 1: three battlegroups are in a line:

111112222233333
111112222233333

Is it permitted for battlegroup 2 to wheel to the left? I would usually allow this, but to do so the tail end of the battlegroup will have to briefly interpenetrate battlegroup 3.

Situation 2:

AAAAA
AAAAA

............1111122222
............1111122222

Battlegroup 1 wants to charge enemy battlegroup A which can only be reached if battle group 1 wheels. However, battlegroup 1 cannot wheel because if it were to do so, the rear corner would interpenetrate battlegroup 2, and cannot shift sideways as a charge may not include a shift. Does this mean battlegroup 1 may not charge?

Thanks in advance,

John

Yes is the simple answer, there was a thread on it somewhere in the distant past.

Actually the efficiency was fine, the organisation on combined cycling-/walkways sucks though.

@Peter: Afraid your German sounds pretty Italian to me.

I do hope you have now recovered from your catastrophic accident. Try harder next time.

Perhaps its a Freudian slip, or an undergarment, which in itself may be a freuduian slip.

Schlüpfen is not "to slip"? sounds very onomatopeico

Depends, prime meaning of 'schlüpfen' is 'to hatch' (i.e. from an egg). It can be used to mean 'slip' or 'glide' but that's usually in combination with various prefixes. Like 'hineinschlüpfen' (slip in) or 'herausschlüpfen' (slip out) or 'hindurchschlüpfen' (slip through).
Usually you will find that 'rutschen' is used as translation for 'to slip'.

'hineinschlüpfen' (slip in) or 'herausschlüpfen' (or slip out) or 'hindurchschlüpfen' (or slip through).

More continental sex talk then

It was Freudian see!
