This one was found by Demian Freeling. In the semi-mirror variant, white cannot - with the idea of capturing the e-line - perform a similar combination. The reason lies in the absence of a man on f3 (the man on h5 in the combination above). Leaving this man behind by capturing 3.f46x, leaves f4 vacant, and there's no go either.
