Phantom overlap. See Diagrams, page 26, figure 17. We have not seen this happen as we use the larger (80cm x 80cm) board.
So if I understand the text pertaining to this diagram correctly, the phantom overlap is advantageous to LH as they are never affected by it?

Yep, Cv and LH are ‘in their element’ out on the flanks, so don’t get penalised. M

I have often wondered why Lh cannot recoil through Lh in Dba. Aaarrghh.. We Dothraki would rather die than be seen for a coward!

Some years back I had one fine day with Mongols vs. Teutonic Knights, in 1/72 plastic. The Knights deployed with infantry on their right, cavalry on the left. I deployed with wings of light horse and cavalry in the center. This was an earlier version of the rules so there were 4 Cv, 8 LH evenly divided between the wings. As the forces closed, I rolled a 6 for pips. The left wing used 4 pips to form a column behind the center facing right. The remaining 2 pips saw them head off behind my right. The look on my opponent's face was a sight to behold. His infantry was out of the fight . My entire force swarmed his mounted arm and put the game away.
The phantom overlap gives me ideas for home-brew horse and musket rules. Infantry near the edge of the table will count as flanked when testing morale.
