Base Contact between Models across\ Gaps
(Rule)Description: Incomplete ranks or Characters with Mismatching Base may cause gaps between opposing models whose units are in base contact. Two opposing models are considered to be in base contact with each other across such gaps if you can draw a straight line:
• from one model to the other, including corner to corner
•
• that is perpendicular to bothunits' Engaged Facings
A model is considered to not be in base contact across a gap if its entire Facing that is opposite the enemy model is in contact with a friendly model.
See figure figure/contact_across_gaps for an example of how to determine if opposingmodels are considered to be in base contact across gaps.

Base contact betweenmodels across gaps.The unit at the bottom has Charged the unit on top in the Rear Facing. Due to the Charged unit's incomplete rear rank, some models are in base contact across gaps.
a) This line connects 1 with A and B. B's entire Rear Facing is however in contact with F, so 1 is in base contact across a gap only with A (it still is in normal base contact with F).
b) This line connects C with 2 and 3. C is in base contact with both 2 and 3.
c) This line connects E with 5 and 6. E is in base contact with both 5 and 6.
