Two baggage unit must fit inside the terrain without

overlaping each others.

The terrain centre point cannot be further from the any point
of edge than three times the distance to the closest edge.

Centre point too close to an edge

"Each terrain piece must have a centre point. The centre point must be
no further from any point of the edge than three times the shortest
distance to the edge, except a corner terrain piece."
The terrain piece below has the centre point too close to an edge and
thus it is illegal according the rules.

admit the rules of fairplay a straight line from the centre point should
be able to drawn any point of the edge without going out from the
terrain piece between that point and the centre point.
