Formation differentialOi Navarcoi!
The squadron in the worse melee formation takes a penalty equal to the rank gap.
How it works
Formations are ranked for melee: 1 epi mias and kyklos, 2 epi pollon, 3 unformed, 4 epi keras. The worse-formed squadron subtracts the difference in rank from its Battle test, so epi pollon against epi mias is -1. Squadrons in epi pollon or epi keras that are engaged frontally form line next turn, and epi keras is also immediately Disordered.
The squadron with the worst formation in a melee is penalized a number of points equal to the difference between the two formations.
