Dumb question, Figure 6b, Purple Page 17: I assume Psiloi C cannot move first to line up directly behind Spear D, and then interpenetrate through Spear D and end up beyond?
The interpenetration rule uses the word "starts," as in, a psiloi may pass through friends if it "starts" lined-up behind and ends lined-up beyond and in front of the interpenetrated element.
So, "starts" in this rules context refers to the beginning of the tactical move phase itself, not the "start" of the act of interpenetrating within a move.
Yes?

That’s how I interpret the word ‘start’… …but I bet others will disagree.

The better interp is "start" means at the start of the interpenetration. But the diagram seems to hint otherwise. Also unclear what if Spear D moves to line up with the Ps? (In other words it moves first.) Here at least I think its clear that Ps C can now interpenetrate. The start the whole move restriction is far to limiting and not really in keeping with how skirmishers should function. But at least for DBA 3.0 we are stuck.

The rules on interpenetration (p. 11) are absolutely clear about that. Or should I say extraordinarily clear?
