I have a couple of questions about how warwagons fight in melee.

Player A has a warwagon
Player B attacks the warwagon on its long side with an infantry unit and a cavalry unit. As it is player B's turn he elects to fight the combat with the infantry unit against the warwagon.

In player A's next turn he attacks the B's cavalry unit in the flank with another unit, dropping it one cohesion level. As it is player A's turn he elects to fight the (flanked) cavalry unit with the warwagon.

Q1. Is this the correct way to fight these combats?

In player B's next turn, assuming all units are still alive, he elects to fight the warwagon with the infantry unit.

Q2. What happens to player B's cavalry unit? Can it still negate the "overlap" of the warwagon on the infantry unit? Can player A attack this cavalry unit with his flanking unit?

Hoping for some clarity with warwagons.
Martin

I think no-one fights the flanked cavalry if the warwagon fights the infantry.

However I don't think the cavalry turn to face the flank as it has an enemy to its' front.

I think the cavalry still counts as support as it is fighting to its' front. (I believe a unit only contacted to the flank, not front, would no longer support units beside it.)

WWg do not exerce ZoC, so I think that the Cav will conform to the flank attack and therefore can not support the infantry against the WWg

Does ZOC matter if the cavalry is already in front edge contact?

To be fair, there is in the past year a giant uptick in the number of games world wide compared to when the rules were French only. Lots more games equates to the improbable beginning to become statistically conceivable.

I do think the internet makes it easier for odd situations to get greater visibility.
