Unit Arcs
(Rule)Description: A unit has 4 Arcs: Front, Rear, Left Flank, and Right Flank. Each Arc is determined by extending a straight line from the corners of the Unit Boundary , in a 135 angle from the unit's Facings (see figure figure/arcs). Any object at least touching the line that separates two Arcs (even if only in a single point) is considered to be inside those Arcs. For rules purposes, units on round bases have a single 360 Arc all around, which is considered to be their Front Arc.
Many rules require the players to determine which Arc of a unit another object is Located in. Note that for rules purposes there is a difference between being inside an Arc as described above and being Located in an Arc (see figure figure/located_in_an_arc):
• Models/units on rectangular bases are Located in the Arc which the centre of their Front Facing is in.
• Models/units on round bases are Located in the Arc which the centre of their base is in.
• Any other object is Located in the Arc which its centre is in.
If an object is Located exactly in two Arcs of a unit, it is considered to be Located in theunit's Flank Arc.
