Stepping forward

The new wording for stepping forward is much improved.

I'd like to see the restriction that the BG cannot break up into separate groups removed.

That would make stepping forward independent of base depth.

If you can get rid of all base-depth dependency in the rules, it eliminates all issues to do with legacy bases that are the wrong depth, or huge models that don't fit on the specified base depth.

Thanks in large part to your previous comments.

Good point, but we are fairly strongly wedded to not allowing BGs to split up (except during partial interpentrations).

Why are you strongly wedded to it? If you are strongly wedded to it, why have an exception? If you have one exception, why not others?
