Which face is the front?
I've never defined it.
Came up with a fortified baggage floating out in the middle of the deployment area.
Charging to contact from a diagonal position required a front edge to decide which face was the one to be contacted _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

It does not matter, since many units can attack the camp simultaneously - each throws a dice to try to sack it.Â
So apply the rules on Conforming to the flank / rear of an enemy unit, ie you conform on the side with the greatest length of attacking front edge. |

An unit attacking a fortified camp is considered in melee and cannot evade or be shoot at. If contacted, it stops attacking the camp and fight normally (p59)
An unit contacted by an enemy while plundering a camp is considered as contacted on the rear.(FAQ p15) _________________ "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead"

I'll try to be clearer now I have the rule book to help you.
Look at the diagram page 51.
A unit placed as b1 wanted to charge baggage with four sides.
Does baggage have a front thus restricting which side b1 can attack. ?
If so is it long side or short or as defined when deployed
Pages 6,7&8 are unclear unless the 1UD side is the front like WWg (ie short side unless square) _________________ Player 747 don't call me Jumbo |

Baggage have no front, no rear and no flank ... and no ZoC.
You charge the baggage and conform to its face depending on wich face you contact first. If you manage to have a perfest 45° contact on one coin, then choose wich face to conform. _________________ Audentes fortuna iuvat. |
