As someone who remains convinced the intent is that facing has no effect on any ranged attacks, I would note that the lack of facing, and the fact that A is throwing though all those figure's Side and Rear hexes with no DX modifier applied, as well as the fact that they did not think to show any other facings, nor mention anything about facing, all tends to favor the reading that facing has no effect on thrown attacks.
