Where is Tailing Position?

1. The yellow dots show the 6 o'clock positions, from which shots can be taken at the craft with the 4 to hit number.

2.The black dots show the positions in which opposite craft can tail the pictured craft and score a +1 to initiative rolls (as per rules page 25, Bandits rulebook). The tailing craft must be 'facing' the target plane.

This latter condition (must be facing in order to be in tailing position) illustrates the fact that the tailing rule only applies to the initiative modifier and not to the tailing position at which the Rear Gun can fire, because why should the Rear Gun's target be required to face the firing plane in order to be a legitimate target?

So we play the Rear Gun SA (and the Press the Advantage SA) to apply to situation 1., not 2.
