Genuinely confused by this one. Do monsters and chariots with close order get the +1 combat resolution bonus?
Initial definition (p100) of a close order formation requires 2+ models formed up in ranks and files. But monsters and most chariots have been given close order as exceptions to this.
I imagine the intention was so that they move like close order units (no more 8th Ed multiple free pivots).
But they technically meet the requirement of being in combat order (p101) in that they have the same number of models per rank as per file (I.e. one). Close order units in combat order get the CR bonus.
I suspect RAI they are not supposed to get it, RAW I think there is a strong argument they do.
