My understanding is that a column can be as few as 2 elements deep; one behind the other. It can also be deeper; 3, 4, 5 up to a maximum of 12.

page 8 last $ "the leading element move forward, the otherS successively join behind it" so the minimum with a S of a column is 3 and not 2 ! by the way a column could not recoil as a group could do! so i strongly disagree with your post.

That is the specific instance of a group reducing its frontage to form a column. The plural "others" includes the singular ("other"). Obviously if there are only two elements in the group to start with, there is only one other element. Are you seriously contending that a two-deep column of, say, warband cannot move through bad going or a non-paltry river as a group? |

There is actually a column definition in the book, rather clear on my opinion. p. 8, antepenultimate paragraph, line 2, it is written : A column is a group only one element wide.
p. 8, former sentence :
A group is a contiguous set of elements all facing in the same direction, with each in both edge and corner-to-corner contact with another [...]
Isn't it ?

And look at the text for figure 14b, which states the two Pk as a column.

this not obviously as you said as the leading elment could be consider alone and the others are diffrent. Use the book if you want tro argue not just sentence.
I never said so; I just said that a column is 3 elements minimum composed as stated in many pages in the book rules and not only 2. A group is 2 elements minimum based and a column is 3 element minimum. Just show me wher in teh book it could be wrong ?
