Wheeling out of a battleline

Hi,

can a battlegroup in the centre of a battleline wheel out of its current position? Ie if it had a BG on either flank in front corner to front corner contact. When wheeling out the back corner swings out and would theoretically 'interpenetrate' the BG on the outer edge of the wheel. If there a rule to allow this. I did look but couldn't find it?

Or does a BG have to move straight ahead until its rear corner clears the front edge of its neighbour before it wheels

thanks

Simon

This has been covered before, thought it went in the FAQ, but since people take the route of least resistance those at the back of a file take the shortest route to where they end, therefore not interpenetrating those either side. So yes you can wheel out of the middle
