Hi, Steve! Hope things are going as well for you and the company as they seem.
These issues came up in a current board discussion, and I wasn't able to find anything on them in 5E or the FAQ (if they're there somewhere I apologize):
1) A hex that's adjacent to where a character is standing is considered DCV 0 for purposes of targetting it with an AoE attack, rather than the standard DCV 3. Let's say that a character has a 1-hex AoE for his Strength (due to size or whatever), but is able to target a hex a greater distance from him by performing a Move By or Move Through, or using Stretching. Range Modifiers would not apply, of course, since these are HTH maneuvers, but would the target hex still be considered "adjacent" and therefore 0 DCV?
2) A character attempts to perform a Non-Combat Movement speed Move Through. According to 5E p. 237, a character moving Noncombat is "always" 0 OCV. Is he 0 OCV before factoring in a velocity modifier (-v/5) for the Move Through, or simply a flat 0 OCV without ever taking any Maneuver Modifiers? Also, would it make any difference if the Move Through Modifier when he's moving at Combat speed would actually make his OCV less than 0?

As always, thanks for you time.
