The Thracians are in melee with the warband who are at and angle. Neither of them could conform.
The warband in a 'normal' block has just routed a unit and have pursued into contact with the Thracians. What happens?

What was Graham's answer?

Page 52 (at the top) states "a charge cannot be declared if it would contact only the flank or rear edge of an enemy base which is already in melee to its front, except by a legal flank or rear charge".

Page 50 "A battle group makes a 'legal' charge contact if at least one of its bases contacts an enemy base either
a)with its front edge, or
b) with its front corner only against the enemy base's edge"

In this scenario, there is a legal contact as the charging base contacts an enemy base with it's front edge. Therefore there is an impact with one base each (or three dice each) and then they conform to the overlap position.
