Exactly. Good job Shaun.
Say you have a unit of archers facing this way.

Can they change facing (1/4 movement), reduce a rank (1/2 movement) and shoot all in the same turn?

Actually, if you start out like this:

And turn (costing 1/4 your movement):

You can add up to 5 models to your front rank (for 1/4 of your movement):

You can even move 1/4 of your movement and still shoot!
7th ed. changing formation is all about changing the number of models in the front rank (and thus all subsequent ranks), not about adding or subtracting ranks (that was 6th ed.). Those "no-move-and-shoot penalty" wood elf glade guard just got a lot nastier!

Sorry, the adding 5 models to the front rank should cost 1/2 movement, not 1/4.
Rick
Excellent question Andy and good answers Rick. Remember you can't march, but it does allow you to turn and sort of reform without killing your entire movement.
Actually none - if you're in combat and win!

This was emailed to me as well. But I was talking about normal movement. Since you cannot reduce the models in the front rank while in combat, only increase, I think that was evident.
But excellent catch, as I did leave that out.
