Another game of DBR and a couple of questions about rear support.
In the case of Pike rear support, the 2nd element gives rear support with a +1. Do the 3rd and 4th elements that give Foot and train a -1 also count rear support - ie they do not turn to face if contacted to flank or rear?
Also can you shoot at elements giving rear support - either the 2nd element or in the case of Pike the 3rd and 4th?
Thanks
Simon

They do provide rear support, it is just the factors reduce the enemy. 2. Yes you can fire at stands providing rear support. In practice it is often the flank that is engaged with distant combat. |

Thanks. Could you please expand on your second point? You say that the flanks that are often engaged with distant combat but you can' t shoot at the flanks of supporting pikes? Many thanks, Simon |

Sorry Simon, finger trouble at this end. You “CAN” fire at stands providing rear support. Does that help?
I will edit my original post.
