Movement Types and Limits Series - Reconfiguration Movement of Infantry Formations Comprised of 5 Companies [Part 4/23]

After reviewing several of the older posts for reconfiguring formations, I noticed that the images that were included with the 5 Company reconfigurations were "off". As such, I've decided to revisit this thread of posts and continue to provide clarification and calculations. This post will deal with  Infantry Formations that are comprised of 5 Companies and their associated permutations of reconfiguration and the movement cost associated with those reconfigurations.


WARNING: THIS IS GOING TO BE A LONG POST FOR THE VARIOUS PERMUTATIONS OF CASES THAT NEED TO BE COVERED!

For Case 5-1 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 5. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 8.98".

For Case 5-2 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 4. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 8.98".

For Case 5-3 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 3. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 4.93".

For Case 5-4 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 4. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 6.41".

For Case 5-5 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 5. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 13.21".

For Case 5-6 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 5. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 9.87".

For Case 5-7 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 5. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 12.82". Oh, now this is interesting ... This means that for a Formation that has a Move Value of 6" the only way to perform this type of reconfiguration in a single round would be to expend Might and perform a Heroic Move.

For Case 5-8 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 3 or 4. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 4.93".

So, for Case 5-9 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 4. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 11.19". For a Formation with Move Value 6" this is still barely doable with an "At the Double!".



For Case 5-10 it appears that the worst case movement is Company 5. So reconfiguring in this fashion would require a Move of 8.31".
