Movement in Combat

In two games last night - both had an example where we struggled with the wording on the rules. I'm surprised that it hasn't come up before , but anyway...

When approaching an angle, in a single rank... impact is initiated on a corner (single element). So, during the impact no problems. Then during the movement phase (to line up prior to melee) Those in corner pivot (or slide) - fine. Then The rest of the bases in the BG do they pivot and slide? Do they align , echeloning back? do they advance into contact? not strictly 'expanding' or 'contracting' is it? - rather just single base moves. At Usk there was a propensity for groups to align and get as many fighting as possible. But reading the rules its just not clear! (5.01 p34.)

Slide - can that include an orientation change. To me it implies a shift in the 'y' axis (front edge) only?

It was difficult to see how the rest of the group go into contact

the rest of the BG moves to maiitin legal formation with those fighting...but I think you are correct we don't actually say this in that section

Can you elaborate Si? You mean just line up? or potentially advance to contact (maintaining original formation)

P17 - normal formations?
