When do you count flank support - only once or can you count it twice? For instance, suppose the following:
player A Ax1 Ax2 Bd
player B Sp1 Sp2 Sp3
Player B's three elements of Sp are in close combat with Player A's elements and all are in good going. I understand that when Sp1 fights Ax1 then it counts flank support from Sp2 and the same goes for Sp3 when fighting the Bd. What happens when Sp2 fights Ax2? Sp2 is in side to side and front corner to front corner contact with Sp1 and Sp3. Is its combat factor 5 - i.e. counts flank support from either Sp1 or Sp3 but not both; or is it 6 - i.e. counts flank support from both Sp1 and Sp3?
I thought that it would count side support twice but I've misread or misinterpreted the rules a number of times so I could be wrong again. If side support can only be counted once, where does it say so in the rules?
