a general is touching two BG to their side edges, does it count as with both BG?

look:
G is general
A AND B ARE BASES OF BG A AND B



BBBB AAAA
BBBBGAAA

I haven't got the rules with me, but I believe it says you must declare which BG the general is with, if
it isn't obvious. No, you can't be with two at the same time.

Look under "Movement of Commanders" section...

Le frommage, bien sur!

Reblochon, Duc de Savoie!

A commander can only be with one BG at any one time and cannot be used as 'glue' to join two BGs.

Or to put it another way... "Caseus, bone vir!"

Trouble is in English it has many meanings and is pretty vague. It started off meaning slightly camp or kitsch, then became applied to "outdated" and even "so-bad-it's-good". But it can also mean gauche, tasteless, obvious, cliched and "trying too hard". The sense I get on the forum relates more to these last, especially where someone screws an advantage from a rule without breaking it despite it's lack of realism in relation to history/reality.

Cheese in wargaming is generally taking advantage of loose wording in the rules, or doing something the rules don't prevent,
but isn't really within the spirit of the rules. Thankfully FoG has few (if any) gaps in this respect.

So when someone suggests something, one way to tease them is say "that's a bit cheesy" (in a friendly way, I hasten to
add, please don't take offence).

no offense its ok

exept when someone says cheesy could mean tasteless, for a french this is an offense!!!

I believe the term cheese or cheesy has nothing to do with la belle fromage but comes from a hindi word chiz which like so much came back via the public-school educated upper class into the language. It is a common term in the Molesworth Chronicles such as Whizz for Atoms and The Young Elizabethan where it means cheap/tawdry, especially an unfair ploy or unfair treatment may be termed chiz! (.....eg Molesworth Jr always seems to get away with tuck in the dorm after curfew...chiz!). Let's not malign cheese, be it English or French, or even Italian or Spanish!

Tasteless does not (in this case) mean "insipide". It means "de mauvais goût".

cheese-it stinks
