Moving Through the Ranks
URL Copied!

A character whose unit is engaged in combat may sometimes be required to 'move through the ranks'. To do so, simply move the character model (displacing other models as required) so that it occupies the desired space, within or adjacent to the appropriate rank, as shown in Fig 208.1 and 208.2.

A character that moves through the ranks to occupy a space anywhere other than within the front rank of their unit must return to their previous position immediately once their unit is no longer engaged in combat.

208-1-moving-through-the-ranks
Fig 208.1 - Unit A, which has a character within its front rank, has been charged in its flank. The character moves through the ranks, into the fighting rank.
208-2-moving-through-the-ranks
Fig 208.2 - In this example, the character is adjacent to unit B's front rank. It moves through the ranks to take up a position adjacent to the fighting rank.
