Control with equal factors

[Courtenay]

The control rule states:

Control of a hex changes when:

An enemy land unit (except for partisans; see 13.1, and supply units; see 22.4.10) enters it (the major power entering with the most factors if more than one)

Which major power controls the hex if two (or more!) major powers enter the hex with equal factors? The WiFFE FAQ does not answer the question.

What does MWiF do, which might not be the same?

[paulderynck]

The only way within the rules to break a tie situation between major powers on the same side is the one under Initiative:

"the major power with the highest production last turn from that side, decides."

The next version of the rules has this sentence added under Changing Control:

"If they have equal factors they must agree which of them will gain control or they cannot enter the hex."

What does MWiF do,

for MWIF, it is simply the first unit that enters that get control.

but this is for solitaire.

when we get to netplay we need to figure this out

I just tried an invasion with an Italian and a German unit, where both units arrive simultaneously. Regardless of whether I chose to invade with the German or Italian unit first, MWiF always gave control to the Germans. I am not saying this is wrong; I am saying I have no idea what the rule actually is.

Which unit had the greater number of combat factors?

Which unit had the greater number of combat factors?

They were both one point divisions.

[paulderynck]

I guess either MWiF is following the tie breaking process I described earlier, or just assumes that Germany (as the senior partner) gets the hex.
