Just a quick question that cropped up in a game recently. If someone wants to assault into an existing close combat, do they have to be able to reach base contact with the enemy? Or can they be within 2" of an allied model? I'm pretty much certain it's the first one, but I just figured I'd ask.

The first model moved must be able tog et into b2b contact.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

And a follow-on that I think I've always played wrong in my games...
If you have multiple units in the assault, and both units have b2b contact with an enemy then fine, they are in assault. But, if you have some models not in b2b contact, they must be within 2" of someone in their own unit that is in b2b contact with an enemy to attack. Mostly we just get someone in b2b, then shove models forward and look for anything that looks too far away without regard to what unit's models are actually providing the 2" bridge to the enemy. Actually, might continue to play it that way friendly like, but not according to the rules I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah - you have to make a normal assault move, which means b2b with the unit you're assaulting.

Ya that's what I figured (it makes sense), but I couldn't find anything stating it explicitly in the BGB so I figured I should ask Dakka.

It does state it explicitly though - To make an assault move, you have to connect B2B. There's no permission to make a different move if you're joining a multi-assault (in fact, the rules for making an assault move and moving into a multi-assault are the same) so... no permission means you just do as normal.

Ya when I was flipping through I took that as the precedent to make my decision.
