Zone of Control - in board and some computer wargames, the spaces around an unit (piece) where enemies must stop, are slowed down or otherwise impeded.
A Locking ZOC makes units stop. In some older games, combat becomes mandatory. A Fluid ZOC only increases the cost of movement. Some ZOC's prohibit or penalize retreats.
