In a game recently the "double 6 & risk to general", Chapter 13 threw up the following conundrum. When rolling on the RISK TO GENERAL TABLE, a 3 was rolled resulting in the nearest enemy general being captured and presented to the enemy C in C.
Unfortunately for the French player his C in C was nearest, followed by his ADC and finally a Brigade General, note all three command figures were in base to base contact. Obviously the French C in C was heartbroken and pleaded with his Russian counterpart to take his Brigade General instead. Being a neutral(I was on the other flank) I was prepared to let the French C in C dice, after all the 3 figures were in base to base contact with each other. However as the rules state the nearest enemy general is removed and the French C in C pleadings were beginning to annoy me, we ruled that his C in C should be removed.
Was this right?
