The rulebook on p38 shows that you can make 2 wheels in the same direction during a move, measuring the distance moved, not along the path travelled but by measuring the distance between the start and end point of the corner that has moved the furthest.
However what is not clear is whether a move can contain a "double wheel" first say to the left and then to the right. This isn't expressly allowed in the other FOG rules but FOGN doesn't cover this manoevre. In theory if this was allowed then you could wheel 45deg to the left, move straight ahead and then wheel 45deg to the right. Effectively you have moved in an oblique and if you measure the distance between the corners you could move further ahead. (and also throw in a slide if you're over 6MU's from the enemy!).
So my questions are:-
1) Are Double Wheels in opposite directions allowed in the same move?
2) If so how do you measure the Distance moved?
3) Is the Limitation on wheeling through 90deg (p38 4th bullet) net or gross? (In the following picture the wheel is net 0deg but gross 90deg)
The following illustrates what I'm asking
My view is a Double Wheel in one move should not be allowed for "Line" troops.
Views? (Terry - your guidance would be appreciated!)
