It would be taking dice rolling way too seriously, as anyone who has suffered through other rules with variable movement will attest.

Not everything we have a source (however dubious for) is worth modelling, and the more of these "flavour" items you corrupt a base set with, they more open to gamey rules exploitation you end up with.

Focus on getting the basics right every time, and then you can test the latest fanciful notion.

Remember there are two battles - Issus and Gaugamela, and the 'like a wedge' formation is at Gaugamela (nothing is said of wedges at Issus).


Apologies Justin - I did conflate the two.

No problem Aaron. There's been quite a bit of jumping around in this thread.  :)
