Single stand rotating at any angle

Post by Philip McBride » Mon Sep 01, 2025 2:29 am

When a single stand rotates at any angle, per the rules for single stand movement, does that mean a single stand may 'spin in place' turning 180 degrees, essentially doing an 'about face' without shifting right or left.

Or does the single stand pivot on one front corner, again turning 180 degrees, but now offset to the right or left the width of the stand?

I've been playing it as a 'spin' rather than a pivot, but somehow that seems too generous a movement.

Thanks for clarifying this one.

Spin.

Only groups are constrained to wheeling and moving forward.

You still have to apply the rules for movement rates (measuring front corner that moves the furthest) and ZOC, of course.

Thanks, David. I'll keep on spinning the little rascals to plug those gaps.
