Units that have won the fight, but are still engaged in combat because their enemies did not break, can at this point execute one of the manoeuvres below.

These free manoeuvres can be executed only if the winning unit is engaged to just one of its sides (front, either flank or rear). They cannot be executed if the winning unit is engaged on two or more sides or if the manoeuvre would result in reducing the number of models in base contact with the enemy!

• Winning units with enemies to their front can perform a free change formation manoeuvre to increase the number of models in their front rank by a maximum of five.

• Winning units with enemies to their flank/rear can perform a free turn manoeuvre to face their enemies (this allows characters, champions, standard bearers and musicians to move into contact with the enemy).
