Striking at Weapons

Striking at Weapons is a set of rules found on B400 in Basic Set: Campaigns. It involves rules on Disarms
3e's basic set addressed this on page 110:
*"close" weapon is in the user's hex.
*1-hex weapon is in the user's hex and directly in front
*2-hex weapon is in the two hexes directly in front
of the user.
*can always strike at a 2- or 3-hex weapon on the turn
after it struck or feinted at you
B401 actually refers to this aspect (which hexes they occupy) as "[[Striking at Weapons in Tactical
Combat]]" with the basic rules (penalty to hit them) being the basic pre-tactical SAW rules.
4e amended the oversight of not mentioning which hexes a 3-hex weapon occupy.
It also changed "2 or 3" to "2+" in recognition of longer weapons, such as whips or jets.
What doesn't appear to have been changed though is that only C or 1 weapons occupy the user's hex. 2+ weapons appear to no longer occupy the user's hex.
