Mounted vs Foot fighting in an overlap only

Hi
A Bg of 4 bases of mounted troops is fighting to its front vs a mounted BG of 4 bases. A foot bg of 4 bases join the mele in an overlap only. After the melee phase the foot is steady. Has the cavalry to break off in the joint phase?
thanks

No. Half the troops the mounted are fighting, rolling dice against, (except nellies who never break off) must be steady foot to force break off

Phil's right. It's on P106, you only count the bases that are in contact, not those in overlap.

I assume that it says frontal contact then (or explicitly excludes overlaps), as an overlap will be in contact even if just corner to corner or edge to edge.

Nik you know the answer to the question. Why do you choose to be facetious?

In fact I don't know the answer to the question
No rules with me.

The actual wording is "Counting only front rank bases in contact other than only as an overlap".
