Examples of Wheels.
a) The unit has March Rate 12". It March Moves forwards 3", Wheels 6" (measured from the outer corner from its starting to its ending position), and then March Moves forwards another 2". The unit has moved 3 + 6 + 2 = 11".
b) The unit has March Rate 10". It March Moves forwards 3" and then performs a 5" Wheel. Even though the outer corner has only moved 8", there are models in the unit that end their movement farther away than their March Rate from their starting position, making this move illegal (see ).
c) The unit has March Rate 16". It March Moves forwards 2", then performs 2 Wheels (4" each), making it almost face the opposite direction. The unit then moves forwards 4" and finishes the move with a small 1.5" Wheel. The total distance covered by the unit is 2 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1.5 = 15.5".
Even though some models in the unit are temporarily farther from their starting position than their March Rate, this is a legal move, since at the end of the move, all models are within their March Rate of their starting position.
