Touching and Contacting a unit

Post by jbbpioneer » Fri Mar 26, 2021 4:54 pm

As an attacking unit first touches a single defender, must the defender immediately conform to the attacker? Even if the attacker may lack the MP to get into full contact before the defender conforms?
What if the defender, in conforming contacts a friendly unit? Enemy unit?

Tried to tease answers out of section 18 and 50 unsuccessfully.

Thanks, Jeff

If a GROUP contacts a single defender, it conforms. Immediately. See section 53.

If you look in the index under "conforming" it takes you right to the rule.
