Generals in overlap

Some one suggested to me that Generals in overlap only cannot fight in the front rank and add their effect of upping the re-roll.

Can they fight in front rank in a BG that is in overlap only?

FWIW I and everyone I've ever played treat the General as fighting in the front rank - even if only in overlap.

Overlaps fight - the General fights in the front rank.

I've never seen this challenged before.

What was the rationale for challenging?

Dan was probably winning was the rationale. :)

Well the rationale which has some merit is that there is no risk and only benefit. From a game point of view one could see that. It goes to the rules style. Are the specifics included or included, etc.

But there are a few tweaks from the AM to R and I feared I had overlooked it.

PS I was actually losing and attempting to do this to reverse the situation. :oops:
