        I'm not familiar enough with the Doomweaver rules

        Well, you can, just not in the case where the minis
are all the same size class (which is probably the case here).

        Because it's obviously a special case not taken into
account by the rules. Moving the guys around is my suggestion,
feel free to do whatever you want, but there's nothing to
indicate you should get rid of a horror. There are different
ways of handling it without moving anyone - for one thing, you
could simply not box in horrors. You could have a 'virtual'
blue horror that is only in base-to-base with the stand that
killed the pink - if the virtual blue wins, it takes the place
of the stand it killed; if it loses it dies, then there's no
problem. There are solutions.

        Normal movement is already covered by the rules. This
isn't, it's a special case.
