Not being allowed to charge unit in secondary ZOC while in primary ZOC

Post by harveylh »

• ZOCs and Permitted Charges: A unit that is in the primary ZOC of one or more enemy units could
already charge any of those within a 45 degree arc of the unit’s front. It can now also charge an
enemy unit in the square directly to its front if it is in that unit's secondary ZOC. This is intended to
remove the deliberate or inadvertent contact-delaying effect of each unit in a line of units turning
to face diagonally.

This is not being allowed in the current Storm of Arrows Slitherine tournament. I have a screenshot that shows my HI facing two diagonal units and not able to charge the secondary unit ZOC. I only can charge the primary ZOC unit. Please tell me how to post and/or send it to you.

You should be able to attach the screenshot, but not at full resolution because the file will be too big.

You need to load it into a free Paint program such as Paint.net, and then save it at perhaps 50% fidelity to make the filesize smaller. I am not sure what the file size limit is - it used to be 255K. I think it is larger now but I am not sure how large, and in any case larger files slow down the web site.

Without being able to view your screenshot as yet, I would mention that I can't see how your unit can be directly facing both units. To attack the unit that is secondarily ZOCing you (while primary ZOCd by another unit), the secondary ZOCing unit would need to be directly in front of your unit. (Not at 45 degrees to your unit's front)

I have attached the screenshot. Saving it as a smaller size did the trick. I did not read the new rule carefully enough. :( The secondary unit ZOC is at 45 degrees. Sorry for the confusion.

For future reference it is usually better to reduce the file size by reducing the fidelity, rather than saving at a smaller size. Sometimes it is hard to make out what is going on if the image is too small (Though not in this case).
