Hello everybody!

I'm confused! And I have a question!  :p

In the rulebook it says that a unit only looses its ZOC if it is in base-to-base contact with an enemy unit (or one enemy per starting DC for war machines).

So now I read the official GW FAQ ....
here's the quote (copy&paste from the pdf):


Section 1.13: Regrouping & Broken Formations
1.13.2 Becoming Broken
Q: Do broken units still exert a Zone of
Control?

A: Yes. The only way a unit loses its ZOC is
if it is in base-to-base contact with two
enemy units
(or a number of enemy units
equal to twice its starting DC if it is a War
Engine).


So, when did this get changed? And apart from this answer, where can I find it? It should also be mentioned in the assault section.

Can someone clarify this?

cheers,

The FAQ is a mistake.  It's one unit or one unit per DC.

1.7.3, 2nd paragraph:
Once a unit has been contacted by an engaging
enemy unit, it loses its own zone of control for the rest of
that engage action (including the ensuing assault).


For WE:
3.1.2 War Engine Zones Of Control
War engines have a zone of control like any other unit. In
an assault they only lose their zone of control once they
have been charged by a number of units equal to their
starting damage capacity.

There may be some confusion (for the FAQ writers too) as you can only have maximum 2 units in contact with 1 enemy, whilst the minimum to lose ZoC is 1 unit in contact with 1 enemy.
