FWWC France '14 and East Prussia '14 - locking ZOCs or not?

[burroughs]

Indeed - in my "1st Battle of the Masurian Lakes" a Russian battalion on the other side of a river is trapped and isolated by being forced to make contacts from three sides which is enough to render it immobile and await being slowly destroyed by fire as neither of the OpFor battalions is able to cross the river. Thus the Russians have a way open into their rear which cannot be directly accessed and threatened as it's inaccessible for the German battalions on the opposite river bank. Anyway, my opponent there insisted on locking ZOCs so I am going to persuade him otherwise before we may tackle "Saving Silesia". I couldn't agree more that locking ZOCs should be off.
