Light horse A faces north.

Enemy light horse X is 10mm north of A facing south. So A is in X's zone of control and X is in A's zone of control.

Enemy cavalry unit Y is 10mm east of A and faces west. So A is in Y's zone of control, but Y is not in A's zone of control.

A wants to run away. As I read the English edition of the rules on p 34) it must move away from the "most threatening enemy."

Which is "the most threatening enemy" as defined by the rules?

This is an unusual question because on reading the English edition of the rules they seem to me to give a clear and obvious answer. However, a good French tournament player reached a different conclusion. So I wonder if there is a difference between the French and English editions or if a different way of playing this has developed in France. I would be particularly interested in hearing from players who know the French edition.

With thanks in anticipation,

The "most threatening enemy" is:
- ennemy in front of the unit with the biggest ZoC in terms of lenght of front
- if no ennemy in the front the nearest ennemy witch Zoc in flank/rear.

It should also be mentioned you never are in two ZOC. Only in the most threatening.

Alan fwiw it is very clear and belinconnux agrees with you and me.

I would include all of us, when I say, begin good and even experienced does not always mean right.

Thanks both for your help with this,
