OK, here's my take on this. When conducting a cohesion test there's a -1 for MF who lost against heavy or determined foot. What is at issue here is whether opposing MF who are protected by the presence of an adjacent HF element count as such? Now as has been pointed out p147 does speak to the assume...

OK so far, but what if he's on his own. Does he count as a column and get 4MUs or does he drop to 3?
