minor v2 restricted area question

[hazelbark]

Its more of an observation.
Restricted Area p 80 right column bullet

"A BG in the RA of enemy even partly behind its rear can move straight forwards."

Behind "its rear" is one that could provoke some discussion in a tournament. Perhaps un-needed, but...we know how tournament tigers like to debate rears...

Is there a clearly defined "rear" somewhere in the rules? Brief look and the one that comes to mind is for a rear charge which is not what the rule says and I think could give an implied wrong answer.

I believe it is clearly meant directly to its rear a la rear support defined.

Hi Dan

What also bothers me is how far behind its rear.

How about 5 foot across the width of the table?

Not a problem you have to be in restricted Area. 2 MU

Ah okay.

Very tired and Basel just beat Tottenham.

Must start reading my V2 book again.

IMO directly to the rear, so that if you draw lines down the sides of the pinned base part of the enemy base is within those lines

I think Phil's definition is a good one for "Directly to the rear". For me, "partially to the rear" would be at least partly behind a line extending the rear edge of the BG.

I think RBS may regret saying "Phil is correct" as it is now part of his official byline

Well he does have a pretty good track record, so I am not quite sure why he is clutching at rightness like someone else I could mention (who was right by accident on one occasion and has never let anyone forget it)
