So:

XA
B

Units X and B are in front edge to front edge contact, unit A is in front edge contact with the flank of unit X.

Unit X routs.

Which of A and B can pursue?

And why / why not?

B as it is fighting. A is in support.

According to Pursuit p62 fourth para, either unit can pursue.

Furthermore either can pursue regardless of whom is impetuous.

P 62 provides that supporting units can also advance the same distance providing they are aligned corner to corner with the pursuing unit and have the same facing. My take is that A can't pursue

Actually, the next paragraph cited by Ramses is not so clear as you assert. Ramses reference paragraph does not mention supporting units at all.

The paragraph I cite seems to set up conditions precedent for supporting unites to pursue. A and B do not have the same facing. Ergo, Unit A does not meet the conditions precedent to pursuit in the paragraph that I cite.

I do not understand what Footslogger fails to see.

if you have 1 (or 2) unit next to you and providing support, they can advance:

_X
ABC

B is in melee vs X and A&C are providing support to B. if X is routed, B can advance and A and/or C can advance too, but A alone or C alone cannot advance.

CXA
_B

A,B and C are all in frontal contact vs X. if X is routed, only one of A,B or C can advance

more clear?

As a well known pin head, I reserve the right to be pig headed as well

Ramses is right: page 62, both can pursue.

Ramses II · Post� le: Mer Ao� 03, 2016 12:35 pm Sujet du message:

Wagmestre, this particular question was answered in the latest FAQ on p9

Where there are multiple units able to pursue, the player can choose which unit will pursue, even if one of them is Impetuous.
