Recently ran into a situation where my unit of cataphracts contacted Spanish foot unit, unfortunately I misjudged the distance and my Roman heavies could not charge on the same turn. the Spanish had 2 units side by side and the one unit in front of the Romans had moved just slightly ahead of the unit the cats had hit. Next trun when I charged my Romans they hit the unit beside the cats, had extra move left so should they have continued into both units since they had 2 bases beyond the end of their target unit or as we played it they stopped at the target leaving about a 3/8" gap between the Romans and the other Spanish unit. Main reson I ask was that my intention was to engage the entire Spanish line but with the 2 units being offset my cats went down only getting 4 dice to the Spanish 6 each melee.
crude picture to hopefully make it somewhat clearer. The staggered line between the mediums and the lights was only about 1/4" or less : SM= Spanish Mediums, SH=Spanish heavies, CA=cataphracts, RL=Roman Legions
Edited by moderator- I hope this is right
