YOU'RE the GM: the circular firing squad

Longbow (DX13) is pointing at the side hex of Throwing Axe (DX12) who is pointing at the side hex of Crossbow (DX12), who is pointing at the side hex of Longbow.
What is the order of attacks?

Sorry didn't realize it was a poll. Thought it was a rules question and answered. :-)

I must be missing something...what rule would possibly apply that would have anyone beat the longbow?

Some people think facing applies to thrown weapons, because they can't find a literal reference to the word "thrown" as well as "missile" about it.

Are we assuming that all three fighters are adjacent (engaged) with each other?

It never felt right to me that a character throwing a knife over 4 hexes would be slower to act than one throwing over 2 hexes, regardless their 'chance to hit' is less.

View Poll Results: I rule the order of attacks as follows:
Axe, Longbow, Crossbow -- it's RAW	4	23.53%
Longbow, then roll-off between Axe and Crossbow -- it's RAW	11	64.71%
My ruling isn't listed here. Don't worry, I'll explain later	2	11.76%
