Firstly, many thanks to the various contributors above. Much of my confusion on this matter has now been addressed.

From here I’ll just note that I think we need to be careful re the interpretat ...

@ Zoltan - Agreed. However the evasion process is the same for each.

When retreating to exit a ZoC, p.37 (official errata amendment) says, "A unit that attempts to evade when it has an enem ...

Zoltan,

Thanks for your response and be assured that I am very much enjoying my ADLG gaming.
