Combat Reform

COMBAT REFORM

A Combat Reform Action allows a Regiment to change its formation (the combination of ranks and files) while engaged in melee. You cannot use a Combat Reform to reduce the number of Stands in contact (either yours, or those of enemy Regiments). When taking a Combat Reform Action, roll a die. If the result is less than or equal to the highest Resolve Characteristic in your Regiment, the Regiment has made a Clean Reform. If the result is higher than the highest Resolve Characteristic in your Regiment, your Regiment has made a Fighting Reform.

Clean Reform

If your Regiment makes a Clean Reform, it immediately adopts a new legal formation, facing any direction (p 131 Legal Formations).

The centre of the Regiment must not move a distance greater than half its March characteristic (rounded down), and no Stand may move further than its March distance.

Fighting Reform

If your Regiment makes a Fighting Reform, it suffers a Wound for each of its Stands in contact with an enemy Regiment. Once any casualties have been removed and Morale Tests taken, it then adopts a new legal formation, as for a Clean Reform.
