Can units of different depths side-by-side form a group?

Hello all,

I am a little confused about what constitutes a group for a group move. In 34.1 a group is defined as a set of friendly stands that is “in both edge-to-edge and corner-to-corner contact with another stand in the group.”. Does this corner-to-corner criteria require only one point of contact or does it require both corners of an edge to be in contact? For example, can stands of different depths be a group if they are side-by-side and share a flank edge and only one corner in contact?

I know a different thread asked about the definition of a group for different types of units but this was for column moves and so didn’t cover the situation described above.

At least one corner, and at least part of one side (front, left, right, rear), and all facing the same way. So yes, different depths have no problem forming a group when in side (left or right) contact; they just need to be piece-wise aligned on their front corners or back corners.

Thanks David. I thought this may be the case but still had doubts. Thanks for clarifying this.
