Here is a situation that arose last night with my Romans with Armenian Allies (brown bases) battled the Pergemenes with Kappadokian allies (green bases.) The Kappadokian knight QK the Roman blade.  Then it pursues a BW, but contacts an Armenian Cataphract before moving the full BW. (sorry for the blurry picture they were moving fast  )  Result: It conforms to the cataphract immediately as shown below. Hopefully we were correct. My paraphrasing of the rule (rule book not handy right now): If a pursuing element’s front edge contacts enemy or its front corner contacts an enemy front edge, they line up immediately as if contact was by a tactical move, but the resulting combat is resolved next bound.

Photography from a moving horse is difficult!
Yes, this is correct.
Please note that this can get a little difficult interpret. For instance... in the example above... can you make flank contact? The answer is ... no. The contact is a corner contact and the single element must conform to the group. The pursuing element doesn't have the movement to make a legal flank contact. Corner contact is allowed in this case and the pursuer conforms to the front.
The situations can theoretically get complicated, but I have never seen one in a game that can't be worked out.

Photography from a moving horse is difficult! It was actually from a blimp. Glad to see we worked it out correctly.
