Reform Move
(Rule)Description: To do a Reform Move , pick the unit up from the battlefield and put it back with the following restrictions:
• The centre of the unit can not travel further than half the unit's Mobility (seeCharacteristic Profiles in the Definitions and Terminology chapter).
• The formation of the unit may change only as long as the number of Files has not changed by more than 3. Remember that the unit cannot voluntarily have more Ranks than Files unless the unit is wide enough to have a Proper Rank (seeModels and Units in the Definitions and Terminology chapter).
• Eachmodel is considered to have moved from its starting position to end position, around obstructions where needed, and no single model can move further than twice its Mobility.
When measuring eachmodel's move, it is considered to move independently of its unit, in any direction or combination of directions, including side- and back-stepping. The models can ignore other models from the same unit, but not from other units. No single model can move further than twice its Mobility. Measure the centre of each model's base, and measure the path the model moves on the Battlefield, from starting to ending position, including the path winding around obstacles.
Treat eachmodel as an individual unit following the Unit Spacing rule. At the end of this move, all models come back together again into a viable formation as described above.

In practice, for the vast majority of Reform andAdvance Moves , there is no need to consider the movements of individual models .
The Upper example shows the technical way to perform aReform Move; moving models one by one (grey dotted lines), and measuring distance the centre moved (black dotted line).
The Lower image show a simplified method to perform aReform Move: Move the unit as a whole, potentially readjusting formation by adding or removing files. Measure the distance the centre travels, while making sure that no model moves further than its Mobility * 2, typically by measuring the distance of the models that have travelled the furthest.

If, for any reasons, amodel's position is relevant during a mid-Reform Move , such as during a Sweeping Attack or Dangerous Terrain Tests, the unit must be placed in a viable formation and following the Unit Spacing rule (0.5") at the point where it becomes relevant, before continuing the move. If it cannot be placed, the move cannot be performed. When measuring the distance each model moves, measure from starting position, to the position it is placed mid-move, and then finally to its ending position.
