Overlapping Definition, linked with overrun and positioning.

[FatalSwordsmen]

I'm just looking for some Clarification on how overlapping is defined. 

So we know Miniatures can't end overlapping, but how does elevation get involved. ie, can miniatures be within the same vertical space, if on separate elevations where their silhouette's wouldn't contact. think both in the middle of the room, with one on the first story and the other on the second story.

But, does that mean the definition for what you can overrun is dependent on that silhouette check? because that wouldn't make sense for a flutter whose silhouette is higher then small base mini's silhouettes. so taking that further, if there were a trench style terrain piece, where small bases could fit their entire silhouette in the trench, but a flutter base for example, couldn't fit in, would those mini's in the trench be immune to overrun, as even the moving base of the flutter could not intrude on silhouette's of the trooper in the trench, let alone the flutters silhouette

question that brought up the idea, was can a small based model, say a storm trooper, go under the base of a vehicle, that is overhanging from an elevated position, if both the mini, and silhouette fit without contacting the vehicles silhouette. But i couldn't come up with a solid definition for overlapping that also allowed overrun, which requires you to overlap at some point, to work, without preventing models at different elevations from having to worry about each other.

Yes. These miniatures are not overlapping unless their bases or silhouettes would occupy the same space or be placed upon one another

If the small-based troopers are indeed in terrain composed of a deep enough trench, it may be impossible for them to be overlapped by a larger-based repulsor vehicle.

Yes - without contacting the vehicle's silhouette or base.

Hope this helps,
