The circumstances are the ones that I mentioned to you sometime 
ago. An enemy Armor (undiscovered) on a road passing through a 
forest. One of my Fighters attempts to enter the cell occupied by 
the Armor; the Armor remains undiscovered and the Fighters do not 
attack it; instead I am told "Cannot enter blocking ZOC!" or 
something like that. Attempt to enter the cell from another 
direction with same Fighters, and, bingo, they attack the Armor. I 
saw other instances of this occuring, but this is the one that I 
clearly remember, since it is the one I mentioned to you 
[several?] months ago. I have not seen it in Bellum now that many 
unit ZOC's are set to -1 (as opposed to the default 0), but I 
have not played much Bellum by hand since making those changes 
either....
