Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, I've been busy.Page 64: bottom diagram:
The rule (page 40) states:
"For ease of measuring, the distance moved is taken as a straight line from the starting position to the ending position of the moving front corner"
- so nothing wrong with this diagram.
Page 65: Final Position:
Nothing wrong with this diagram either - for the same reason.
I understood the statement on page 40 you refer to only applies to the wheel, not the whole move that includes a wheel and a move straight forwards. At least that is how everyone plays it.
If the pictures on Page 64 and 65 are correct and the reason is the statement on page 40 in the normal movement section then this implies to me that normal movement involving a wheel should also be measured using a straight stick.
i.e. I understand from what you have said that a normal move involving a wheel and a straight forward move is measured with a straight stick from the start to the end of the move.
This is not how I or anyone I have ever played has done it but if that is the correct way I will change the way I measure these moves.
I would very much like it if you could confirm that normal moves involving a wheel and a move straight ahead are measured by measuring the distance from starting position front corner to ending position front corner. i.e. the wheel is NOT measured separately from the straight ahead move. (Just for clarity, exactly the same way as the evade is measured in the picture on page 65 titled "Final Position").
Thank you
Peter
