== Defending the template ==

Red has two threats:

<hexboard size="4x5"
   coords="hide"
   edges="bottom"
   visible="-a1--a4 b1 b2 c1"
   contents="E *:a1 E *:b1 E *:c1 E +:d1 R e1 E *:a2 E *:b2 R 1:c2 E +:d2 E *:a3 E +:b3 E +:c3 E *:a4 R b4"
   />

and

<hexboard size="4x5"
   coords="hide"
   edges="bottom"
   visible="-a1--a4 b1 b2 c1"
   contents="E *:a1 E *:b1 E *:c1 R e1 E *:a2 E *:b2 E +:d2 E +:e2 E *:a3 R 1:d3 E *:a4 R b4 E +:c4 E +:d4"
   />

For a blocking attempt Blue has to play on the only overlapping field:

<hexboard size="4x5"
   coords="hide"
   edges="bottom"
   visible="-a1--a4 b1 b2 c1"
   contents="E *:a1 E *:b1 E *:c1 R e1 E *:a2 E *:b2 B 1:d2 R 2:e2 E *:a3 R 4:d3 E *:a4 R b4 B 3:d4"
   />
