There are three reasonable ways to do this...
The first is the "rolling carpet" method of 2.2 and before. This lead to some moronically stupid tricks. Yes, I used them in tournaments. Good riddance!
The second is the "flashlight method". Many of the developers preferred this one. You can still pull some stupid tricks with it... but they are more difficult and yield less.
The third is the current "XRay" method. This had the advantage of being tested in DBMM.
Phil picked the XRay method.
I am afraid the idea of limiting to front edge only while moving has lots of exploits. We considered it during development. Fast moving troops can do all sorts of odd but powerful things with it. The addition of the verbiage to DBA was unfortunate and due to unfortunate circumstances... as were the errors in the diagram wording and other things.
Life however sometimes causes problems. A 3.1 version would certainly help things.
