Locking Zones of Control: Do you use them?

[goomohn]

Should the attacker be allowed to walk freely through gap, suffering the light firepower of a company? Can the single defender not 'shift' slightly to match the movement of the units in front of him?

Yes, I think the player on his turn should be allowed to maneuver through gaps between enemy forces at 3 times cost in MPs. Which during good conditions would allow an infantry formation to move one hex under enemy opportunity fire without firing itself. If the attacking player has 1200 men facing 360 men strung out in defensive positions, he should probably attack/assault the 120 men he is facing. He should also try to send forces to flank that position in case the assault cannot push forward, and to threaten the other companies 2km away from the position he's up against. The defender is defending his 1km position, he can't shift men a km away.
