Title: TZing elements neither in front or to the rear
Post by: bunwin on February 25, 2008, 07:18:54 AM

If element A is TZ'd by  element B to A's side, and no part of the B is in front of the front edge of A, I assume A can't then contact B?

Only part of B will therefore be behind the rear of A. Is A able to turn 180 degrees?

If A is in the TZ of B, and in no-ones other TZ, A should be able to move as an individual element in contact with the frontside of B.

'But, I'm not yet the expert in moving elements, I'm learning the game myself.'    ;)

Correct

Thanks, but what do you base that on?

It's covered by the first bullet point under "Threat Zone" on page 32

"Line up opposite or in front-edge to front-edge combat with the TZ-ing element most directly in front"

If there is only 1 TZ-ing element then it is by definition the one most directly to front - there's no ned to it to be actually in front at all.

Unless it is to the rear in which case the only action the element can take is turn 180 degree?

no - that's an additional option - not one that stops you taking any of the others.

so you can jsut turn 180 degrees if you want....or you can move into combat - your choice (along with the various other options that may be avaialble for the particular situation)
