"A group move across bad going must be in or into a column unless entirely by Psiloi. A group move can include reducing frontage to form such a column for this or any other purpose. The leading element moves forward, then others successively join behind it, moving as if by single element moves. "
I have always read this rule to mean that a line in Bad Going can form a column. If elements have sufficient distance allowed, as Macbeth says. A line of 4 Wb can move singly into Bad Going, for 4 PIPs and still be a line. Then for 1 PIP, can make a group move into a column. The rule does not say the move must be a Group move INTO Bad Going. There is no restriction for a line to column group move in Bad Going. For 1 PIP, the 4 Wb move as single elements from their positions in the line, to their positions in the column.
I believe that not in the Bad Going case, elements in a line can move some distance forward, and then with the remaining distance form a column. Elements that can make multiple moves, such as LH and MtdInf can make one move as a line and a second into a column

that most things are the same, but we keep encountering little differences and pitfalls (such as how shooting is handled differently on BG hills in DBA 3.0) between the current set of rules and 2.2. To say that it is frustrating would be an understatement.
