Unit Spacing
(Rule)Description: Under normal circumstances, all units must be separated from Impassable Terrain and from both friendly and enemy units by more than 1" (remember that distances between units are measured to and from their Unit Boundaries).
Certaintypes of movement allow a unit to come within 1" of other units or Impassable Terrain . The most common types of movement are:
• During anAdvance Move or a March Move , units may come up to 0.5" of these elements but must be more than 1" away at the end of the move (see figure figure/unit_spacing).
• During aFailed Charge Move or a Charge Move , units are allowed to come within 0.5" of these elements, including base contact (they may however only move into base contact with an enemy unit that was the target of the Charge).
Onceunits end up within 1" of other units or Impassable Terrain after a Failed Charge Move or a Charge Move , they are allowed to remain within 1". As soon as they move farther away, the usual restrictions regarding Unit Spacing apply again. Removing a unit from the Battlefield (e.g. during a Reform) does not count as moving the unit farther away for this purpose (unless the unit is actually placed back farther away than 1").
See figure figure/unit_spacing for an example.

Unit Spacing .During an Advance or March Move , unit A may be moved closer than 1" to the Unit Boundary of unit B. Unit A may however not come within 0.5" of unit B. Since unit A started the move more than 1" away from unit B, it must be more than 1" away from B's Unit Boundary at the end of its Advance or March Move .
