Sam can you clarify the following?
1) A unit is in a town base. An enemy unit outside the town moves into contact. In the melee the the defender breaks. Can the winner now occupy the town base? I can't find this explicitly stated in the rules.
2) If a town base is attacked simultaneously by two units, one from outside the town and a second from an adjacent town base, and the defender breaks, can the attacker choose which unit advances into the vacated town base?
1) Yes. Your victory would carry you 2BW forward, and thus into the town base.
2) Yes. Same as if it had happened in open terrain.
Thanks for the quick reply Sam. Just to clarify further on point 2.
The unit attacking from outside the town had contacted the town at a very oblique angle. If it advanced 2 BW forward it was still in a position where none of it's bases were completely in the town. Under normal movement into a town it is necessary to end up with at least half the units bases in the town to count as being inside. So in this scenario would it still be eligible to advance in the town?
Hi
I am not Sam (obvious isn't it?) but I think that if the unit was contacting in a very obliqueous angle, it can not really close in hand to hand with the enemy. In that situation, the other friendly unit will be making the real combat and the 'obliqueous' one would be only a support, sonly the first would be eligible.
