Hi Guys,

Consider the following:



Unit 1 facing Unit A, in line but a distance apart.

Can unit 1 slide towards unit A, make contact and enter melee?

Is that a valid charge?

As an additional point; if the units were exactly 1UD apart could unit 1 slide 1 UD, make corner-to-corner contact with unit A, and enter melee?

Yes that is a legal charge on the front.
A number of ways obviously to do this. But yes explicitly one is a slide that creates a frontal contact.

If you are past the enemy front its different.
Obviously you have to obey Zocs and whatever else is going on.

Additional point.

If you slide in a charge and get contact you then conform.

There are two separate rule areas which you are worrying are additive and yes they may be.

1) are you in charge range.p42.
2) after contact there is conform.

You are optically worried that this looks like a double slide. Optically it looks weird. It is following the rules.

The rules allow a one element slide if you end up in contact without needing to advance. See the top right bullet on page 30.
