quick question - can you be 2 wide with full command? or because command has to go in the front, do you have to be at least 3 wide?

The section for command should explain it, but basically you can be as wide or as narrow as you want. There is a specific order that command (and any characters you may have attached) get moved into the back ranks.

If you just have a full command in the unit (no characters) and want to go 2 wide, I believe you end up with the champ and the standard in the first row and the musician in the back.

The rule on characters say that if their is no room in the front rank, they are moved into the 2nd rank.
I haven't seen anything that allows characters in a 3rd rank, and a rule does state that if their is no room, they may not join the unit.

So for command you can go 1 or 2 wide, but with characters, as near as I can tell, they must be in the first 2 ranks.

Refusing a challenge and make way would like a word with you.
