What counts as the nearest model?

[stato]

With the new pile-in rule there are people saying 2 models in base contact count as both nearest, so you cant move.  What say everyone else?

Additional theoretical example for dicussion, if an attacked does D3 mortal wounds to the nearest model, would you let them do D3 wounds to every model in base contact?

The requirement is singular. Sadly I didn't found a rule for this case but I would say the player desides in this case, which model is the closest.

Its something that should be FAQd but I'm of the opinion that if you are in base to base with 2 models you get to choose one .

It's more interesting, tactically, if a 2-model contact locks you in place.

It also makes sense that you can't spin around one model if you're also having to protect yourself from a different model to the side of you

A quick reminder that rules tell us what we CAN do during a game.

There is no stipulator whatsoever that I see that would imply either player would get to choose which model counts as the closest in an equidistant scenario.  Until we have an FAQ, both models would fit the criteria for the closet model, which would lock the model in place.

I suspect it will be FAQ'd to stipulate that the active player may decide, as that as been a trend.  But really, until it's in writing, that's jist supposition.
