Hey guys new to the forum,
My question is in regards to combat res and steadfast. So to some up i have charge with 2 ranks of blackguard into a unit of skinks and kroxigors. i wiped out 17 skinks which left 8 skinks in front rank and 3 kroxigors in back rank.
i ended up winning combat by 10 or 11 cant remember exactly. Now steadfast needs to be min 5 for a rank and with kroxigors they are meant to move up to front rank if there is space.
My argument is during this my friend said due to them being on an ogre size base they cant move up but my argument was that the rule for being in rank of skinks is they take up the same footprint as a skink so one should have moved up and he would have then lost the rank so wouldn't be steadfast and would have to break test.
Lets say this caused a pretty big argument as rules have been in the past left to interpretation and changed the game completely.
Any clarification on this would be great.

First of all welcome, secondly there's a rules query section of this forum. I'm struggling a bit to understand the question. Were the skinks/kroxigor unit originally a horde (ie 10 wide) or were they always 8 wide? If the second, ie 8 wide then why would the kroxigor move up as the frontage hasn't changed? After the kroxigor and skinks attacked, did you still have 2 full ranks of blackguard?

If the front rank of skinks drops below the width of the second rank, the Kroxigor moves up. They footprint counts as normal.
