Citizens, a question:

If an orc and / or goblin unit gets a result of a six on their animosity roll and then rolls high enough to take it into base contact with another friendly unit...what happens to both of the units concerned? This situation is not addressed in the army book [that I can identify], it only adresses if it comes into contact with the enemy...

Help please.

I am certainly no expert on O&G, but it would seem that you simply stop moving when you come into base contact with that friendly unit. You wouldn't start a combat with your own unit since that never really happens (outside of a squabble roll). Even when things can attack their own units, specific rules are given to support this (Skaven Abominations and Doomwheels, for instance).

As above: abominations and doomwheels will do their impact hits, combat then stops.

I think with respect for orc/gobo's, you would just move up and stop. I think they have enough negatives, making a orc/gobo player fight a combat amongst themselves probably has little precedence... and just seem's excessive.

Nothing states you fight a combat, therefore you do not. Move into base contact and then stop.
