When is a ZOC blocked?
How much of it is blocked?

In ZOC definition it says "units exert a ZOC through friendly...they can interpenetrate".
So clearly if you can't interpenetrate the ZOC is blocked.

How much?

consider Z and A both KN facing up. A is only 1/2 behind Z. But otherwise they are in base edge contact.

ZZZZ
__AAAA

1)Does A exert a full ZOC, a partial ZOC or no ZOC?
Where is you answer in the rules?

2) Let's assume AAAA is enemy. ZZZZ move to the current spot at stops not in contact.
The 5th bullet under "exceptions to ZOC" p 35 suggests A has a ZOC where Z does not completely block it.
(rule reads "unit entirely behind an intervening unit" which in this case would be Z.)

Look at your rulebook : There's no partial zoc at all. A unit is in zoc or not !

If a part of a unit is in zoc of another unit, it is "ZOCed"

This rule :

[Hazelbark]

I understand a ZOC or not.

But can a ZOC due to be blocked, be other than a rectangle or square?

[Soranon]

A Zoc can be entirely blocked or not blocked. But if no part of a unit is in ZOC (because of a screen unit for example) it isn't in ZOC

An example :

AAA
...BBB

...XXX

Unit AAA is screen by unit BBB. So unit XXX doesn't take AAA in Zoc

Maybe a bad picture will help...Is the elephant ZOCed or not?

[Soranon]

Yes

[chris6]

As far as I remember Horse can not interpenetrate horse, but Light horse. So in this example the horses closer to the elephant would block the ZOC of the horses in the back and therefor the elephant isnt ZOCed?

Poor knights !

Ok, so a ZOC can be partially blocked by own bg. Got it!
