Hey, I was saying that contact is contact. Corners touching is contact. I want to know why elements can move into side edge contact with enemy not in frontal...
I am looking forward to Richard's ruling on this. BTW, Luke, what are occasions when a friendly element behind a recoiler, that can be pushed back by the...
... Err, they can do both. Or rather, they should be able to do both. Where is it written they can't do both (Which rule system are we talking about here - I...

Luke: Are there so many that you cannot list all of both types. You wrote earlier in response to my statement: Bob: "An element will not be pushed back into...
"If a group moves into contact with enemy elements that have a gap of less than an element base width between them (and are not required to conform as below),...
Playing a game always raises questions :) 1. Is there no Buttocks of Death stopping rule? We could find none to stop players from putting enemy rears just...
... Unfortunately, the attempt to deal with the BOD seem to just make things worse, from looking at DBA2. At best, the tactic is still allowed, just somewhat...
Greetings! Just for the record, I like the Buttocks of Death (or Doom), Elbows of Elimination, or Hineys of Hinderance. I agree that IF you are goofy (or...

... No, you are missing nothing - which is why I wrote SHOULD be able to do both (IMHO of course). I can see no logical reason for the restrictions above...
... I can't list ALL such occasions, since I may forget some of them. Your demand is unreasonable. I can list SOME of them, and have done so, you quote two of...
I do not mean to be unreasonable, and it's only a request. Can you give a couple of examples of where a pushed back element is destroyed, other than a second...
... Good grief! How many times do I have to say this? A recoiling element pushes back a friend into impassible terrain. The friend dies, not the recoiler - in...
Thanks, I must be pretty dense as I had not seen this explicitly stated before. I do not believe it but now we have the option on the table. I think only a...

... I don't belive it is expelicitly stated - simply because push-backs are not defined in HotT; the HotT rules being somewhat condensed. Given it is that way...
... a) Why ? Some things just are, if it is the case just deal with it. b) Again why ? DBM is *****not***** HOTT, they are just similar, because one thing ...

... Er... not sure what that has to do with it. If as we all agree HOTT is not DBA/M then it does not have to have a reason to be different because as they are...
I guess there is no need for all of us players to keep arguing these points. It is clear that they are NOT clear in the text. Push back is an undefined...
... Looks good. I wonder if these issues could be 'solved' by getting rid of the phrase pushback entirely say, and word it so that people behind recoiling...

The latest changes and additions all look good to me. Except maybe for the new stronghold rules forcing them into the center, but that's just because it never...
Yes indeed, Richard has rolled a 6 here to clarify what I think are the last of the issues - until I play another game :) Will do so April 1 week. That's one...
