I can't find this in the rulebook although I'm sure it is there somewhere...

Is this a valid group...?

AAAAAA
B____B

or do both of B in the second line have to be together?

Thanks,
Dave.

Is this a valid group?

AAAAAA

As the 2nd Rank is only 6 wide?

In fairness ,I don't think the rules say whether a second rank has to be a continuous line....it's not very clear. I don't think any of the diagrams show a group with a split second rank.
And how about this?

I think this meets the requirements in the rulebook but does it meet the author's intention?

P10 says the frontage must be 6 units wide maximum, and each rank must be 6 units wide maximum.

There does not seem to be anything to prevent ranks being offset as you suggest, so it seems possible that 1CP could be used to move a groups that is effectively 11UD wide in two ranks of 6 units, or just possibly a group of 18 units in three ranks of 6 units, each offset, forming a group that is 16 UD wide (but obviously such a group would be very unwieldy to command later in the game)

Because there are different bullets defining the terms for "frontage" and "each rank". And yet the group 'width' is not defined as opposed to it's frontage.

It seems to be a valid to at least check these points.

[Black Prince]

I think some people are just try to break to rules.

I thought in V3 if a group was wider than 6 bases then you paid an extra pip to move the group but in V4 there is hard limit of 6 bases wide is this correct?

[DieselDave]

I wasn't doubting the '6 wide' limit , just how those 6 could be deployed. A single continous rank or if a rank can be split(but still be within the 6 wide limit).
