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. ![](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss271/TonyAguilar/DBA%20Questions/20160823_194146_zpsupdjkavn.jpg) Then it pursues a BW, but contacts an Armenian Cataphract before moving the full BW. (sorry for the blurry picture they were moving fast ![8-)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/cool.png) ) ![](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss271/TonyAguilar/DBA%20Questions/20160823_194159_zpspuqe06ln.jpg) 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.![](http://i583.photobucket.com/albums/ss271/TonyAguilar/DBA%20Questions/20160823_194209_zpsyvruywyu.jpg)

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.
