Multiple Artillery Support

[serbian]

On Monday night we came across a problem with artillery support, i'm hoping you good people
can help clarify this

AAAABBBB
AAAABBBB
CCC
DDDD

A and B are mixed pike shot units supporting C which is artillery

D is a unit of Cavaliers

Our problem was D only contacted C directly infront of A, question is does B give an overlap to the combat

I am pretty sure that the combat takes place as if the guns are not there so it becomes:

AAAABBBB
DDDD

Rear supporting BGs are treated as if level with the front edge of the guns they are supporting. If B is rear supporting the guns (hard to tell from the ASCII art as your formatting has been lost) then it can overlap in that position. If not, it would need to be level with the front of the guns.
