Carl last nights game vis a vis the movement of my spirit hosts. You claimed that I had to turn 90 degrees to shift over and lose movement - then 90 degrees again to line up so that I could escape the flank charge of your Yetis. I was thoroughly robbed and draw your attention to page 12 and 13 in the lil' book about maneovering. I knew that I could wheel and that's the word "wheel" as many times as I liked during the movement phase - (but not on a charge). As I had a march movement of 12 - I would have been right out of the charge of the yetis. There is no mention of turning through 90 degrees losing movement and then turning through 90 degrees just for an inch slide. Although there is a mention of turning I wasn't doing this (see diagrams).

Turning is different to wheeling. When you turn you simply rotate the models, either 90 degrees or 180. That costs one quarter of movement and prevents march moving.
Wheeling is a turn around a point (normally the corner of a unit) and the unit counts as moving the distant of the model in the unit that have travelled the furthest (i.e the opposite corner of the unit).

How? They were more than 8 inches away when they started? As they have a movement of twelve that would have put them possibly two inches away from the front of unit and well away from your maurauding yetis even with that wheel of an inch. I would have wheeled them an inch carried in a straight line for 8 and wheeled again for an inch to level up with your ogre unit and still have two inches to spare. If necessary I could have moved wheeled them two inches each wheel. That would have taken them well outta reach of your yetis - so robbed yes!
