Created page with "The template: <hexboard size="3x5" coords="hide" contents="E *:a1 R 1:b1 R d1" /> (From Mike Amling, see: [http://www.drking.org.uk/hexagons/hex/templates.html www...."

New page

The template:

<hexboard size="3x5"
coords="hide"
contents="E *:a1 R 1:b1 R d1"
/>

(From Mike Amling, see: [http://www.drking.org.uk/hexagons/hex/templates.html www.drking.org.uk])

Red has two main threats:
<hexboard size="3x5"
coords="hide"
contents="E *:a1 R 1:b1 R d1 E +:a2 E +:b2 R 2:a3"
/>

and

<hexboard size="3x5"
coords="hide"
contents="E *:a1 R 1:b1 R 2:c1 R d1 E +:e1 E +:c2 E +:d2 E +:e2 E +:b3 E +:c3 E +:d3 E +:e3"
/>

using the [[Defending_against_intrusions_in_template_1-IIIa|ziggurat]].

These moves lead to an easy direct connection. Because there is no common [[hex (board element)|hex]] used in both threats, Blue cannot prevent Red from linking to the bottom.
