|
Please can anyone explain the diagram at the bottom of FAQ page17, example 2 on most threatening element. It says that a1 is most threatening, but i would say it is a2. Reason
1. Both zocs are coincident and so entered simultaneously.
2. Both zocs cover the front edge as soon as they are enterred*
3. A2 is closest at the moment b2 enters the coincident zocs and therefore most threatening, since A1 is always a bit under 40mm and A2 less than that. Exception if the contact is corner to corner only, in which case neither zoc is actually entered until alignment after contact.
* Same as rules page 35, where A is the most threatening, since even although it is too the side its zoc includes the front edge |

I need Patrick to confirm the following, but I think his understanding of a ZoC “covering the front edge†differs from yours.Â
Imagine for a second that B1 is angled to be moving ‘NNE’ towards A1. From the viewpoint of A2 (assuming that the line of vision is perpendicular to the front of A2), the front edge of B1 is now hidden behind it’s flank. Thus A1 is ‘the most threatening’. This continues to be true as B1 is rotated anti-clockwise until we reach the position in the 2nd diagram.
So I believe at this position it is still deemed that only the ZoC of A1 covers the front edge of B1. Â
However as B1 continues to be rotated anti-clockwise, it exposes it’s front edge to A2. This case starts to resemble the 3rd diagram. At this point A2 would now count as the nearest ‘most threatening’ unit as you note in your question. |

sO P34 DEFINIATION of most threatening begins "enemy in front"
second bullet also makes it clear.
The unit in front is more threatening. |
