It is HIGHLY improbable that, when you move your distance "back" that yuo will be able to have moved *exactly* as required to end up an identical distance from 2 models. Humans are not that precise.

I completely agree and just to further the role of devil's fartknocker I can think of only one realistic instance where human precision could accomplish such a feat. I'm laughing as I type this:

Using my previous example and modifying it to say that the 2 units in which the falling back guy was in base to base contact would have to be up against their own table edge thus making them exactly equal with each other. Then, using a t-square the falling back guy falls back 7" straight back towards his table edge. Regroups, moves forward using the aforementioned t-square and then finally assaults the 2 units simultaneously.

Once again, if there was a computerized version of the game, this would be more likely and that humans are generally never that precise. Alright, I'm done making an ass of myself for now. Thanks for reading.
