2-hex attack rules

My contribution to all those great things you people are doing here, and on everything I was able to learn by reading your posts.

Maybe it happened to you that you tried a 2-hex attack thinking that it will certainly be successful and then it turns out that it wasn't. Well, rules for what is possible and what is not are sometimes... odd. As you will see on the picture on this web page:
http://free-st.t-com.hr/miroslav/

What I'm considering as odd is, if, i.e., you take a look at the situation second row, first column, you will see that that one vertical red arrow is missing. Why is this important? Because, if you accidently move your mouse from the diagonal attack to a vertical while attacking the first hex of the down unit you will MISS, even though this is higly illogical because, from the picture, you are attacking at the very centre of the upper unit.

Another situation: compare, let's say, first row/column with third row, second column. You see from the picture that you can't attack the under unit and hit the upper one in the first situation, but you CAN in the second.

I tested this three times, so I'm pretty sure it's correct. If it's totaly useless for you, don't be mad at me ;-)

Cheers!

I forgot: I know nothing about web page making, so for saving the picture select it first and than copy-paste it. Sorry.

Hi raincalar,

maybe u get not that much feedback, cause its not selfexplainatory.

Little Explaination:

Light Green and darker Green are Enemy creatures in Battlefield positions.

Some are 1-hex some 2-hex wide.

The red arrows show the directions u must be able to make to get the firebreath of the Dragons or similar to work...

..to hit the creatures behind too.

The red arrow shows the cursor before the hit. If there is no red arrow the second creature wont be hit.

As u already descripted this information is especially important to the first situation in the second row. If u dont attack diagonal in this situation the firebreath wont work.

Good work!

...i suggest a nice QP here!

I guess I could have explained it better... But than, that's why there are nice people like you around ;-)
This is my way of saying thanks to all the great info (Yours included) that I've found on this forum. Hotseat games with my friends have certainly increased in it's quality ;-)
