 Changes of Formation, as a result of an order issued
 in phase two, occur in phase six.
 > __Example__: Warthanger's wolf riders, who are in column, are ordered to C/F Line and then Advance. As they are raiders, the change will cost them 3/4 of their normal movement. As this allowance is 36 cm, the change of formation costs them 27 cm. In phase six, Warthanger's Raiders change formation and are then able to advance only 9 cm. If the goblins had been tribesmen instead of Raiders, the change of formation would have used up their entire move and left them unable to advance that turn.

On the next turn he may either expend all his normal airborne move to climb to Flight Height, or fly up to 60 cms in any direction at Combat Height. In fact, having passed his Order Test, he is ordered to climb to Flight Height so he can note the positions of enemy troops, and try to spot any that might be hidden behind buildings, woods or hills. On the following turn, Gripnir flies in the direction of a warband of goblins, who seem a good target to attack. On the fourth turn of flight, he is within charge distance of the goblins, who are 35 cm away. (Gripnir's airborne charge move is 80 cm, half of which is lost diving, but that still leaves him with 40 cm of movement to fly directly over the hapless goblins).
