Hi guys. Another short question.

In the impact phase, enemy LF BG (2 bases deep) declares a charge on my LF BG (also 2 bases deep). Both inside a wood. My LF evades, but rolls a 1 and the enemy LF rolls a 6 and catch them from behind.
1. Is this then again in the same impact phase a charge from behind, so normal ++POA for attacker applies ?
2. After surviving the initial impact, in the Melee phase, do both rows of the LF caught from behind turn to face the enemy ?

Thanks

Yes, always a ++POA, and as skirmishers contacted by skirmishers, they'll drop a cohesion level. Only bases contacted
turn to face (unless in frontal combat, obviously not the case here).

P56/57 for the rear charge, P68 last bullet point for evaders always counting as having being charged in rear.

A BG can reform in either side's movement phase. So your BG can reform (it is optional!), but must do so to
face the enemy in contact. P70.
