I'm quite excited about this new wording and its impact on combat, and I've been mulling over how it'll interact with other aspects of combat. This got me thinking about flanking. I think it's great that PtA now stacks with flanking (by increasing expertise dice) but it made me wonder if you can FB when flanked since there'd be an enemy exactly behind you blocking movement. Does "behind" mean "straight backward", or just "away from" the attacker? For example, is a backward diagonal movement allowed? I think I'm fine with either, just want to know.
Also, I assume if the defender's back is up against the wall, they're cornered and can't fall back (awesome!) but what if there's a column behind them, but open space to the left and right behind them?
