A turning question

[Dyeeles]

In a game last night I had a unit of 7 Longbow laid out like so facing up the page-

AAAAAA
A

They then turned 90* to the left.

My question is, what formation should they end up in?

Would it be

AAAAAA
A Facing left or something totally different?

Cheers, Dave

AAAA
AAA

facing left

One wide eight deep.

When turning to face you must occupy no more than the units depth - which in this case is 40mm, hence one element wide.

I'm sorry I do a mistake.

AAAAAAA facing left.

[Dyeeles]

Sorry, the diagram is wrong. Let me try again.

AAAAAA
---A-----

Turned left. Do I get

AAAAAA
A

?

[zeitoun]

No, just a 1 base in the front.

AAAAAAA facing left.

Your frontage after turning is the minimum to have at least the same width on the flank as before turning. 2 MF deep changes to 1 wide after a 90 degree turn.

And the minimum is base depth (ie measured) NOT base count.
