Piling in

[Vextol]

If you have a line of guys (X) in combat with another unit (O) can you pile into a different unit (Z) if you are not in combat with that unit but you are CLOSEST to that unit with troops from X? 

Example:

  OOOO 

   XXXX

    X XX

         X

         X

   XXXXX

 

    ZZZZ

Where the 4 Xs are 1 inch from the Os and the 5 Xs are 3.5 inches away from ZZZZ.

Yes.  The pile in rules specify the conditions under which you may pile in (there must be a unit you're in combat with, or you made a successful charge move) and how to perform a pile in move (up to 3" towards the nearest enemy model).  They provide no restrictions upon which units you may pile into.

Ok.  The issue came up because of the new rule that you cannot resurrect into combat unless you're already in combat.  Seems like a stupid clarification if you can simply resurrect close enough to pile in to combat anyway.  Barely has any impact at all. 

Really it just stopped you from pilling into combat directly but all that does is force you to make a 3 inch charge...whoop whoop.
