Gator Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 What happens if a trooper unit is an inch from a height 2 obstacle and wants to move straight forward into base contact with the obstacle? Even the front half of speed-1 movement tool wouldn't fit between the trooper and the wall unless the trooper approached obliquely. Same question for a swoop or speeder bike who has to perform a compulsory move facing directly at a height-2 building but is too close for half of the speed-3 movement tool to fit between the base and the height-2 obstacle. Would they move straight forward to contact the wall, or not move at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Hi there, Quote What happens if a trooper unit is an inch from a height 2 obstacle and wants to move straight forward into base contact with the obstacle? Even the front half of speed-1 movement tool wouldn't fit between the trooper and the wall unless the trooper approached obliquely. As stated under Moving Through Terrain, "When placing the movement tool, it may not overlap an obstacle terrain feature that is taller than the moving miniature's silhouette," unless of course the unit has keywords or another game effect would allow it to do so. If a trooper unit wishes to approach an obstacle closely in front of it, it may be able to do so by placing the movement tool at an alternative angle, and touching one of the sides of the movement tool or otherwise "stopping short" at some point along the length of the movement tool.

Would they move straight forward to contact the wall, or not move at all? A Speeder X unit may move over or end its movement on terrain equal to or less than height X. If the terrain is taller than X, the unit will treat it as normal, and be prevented from placing its movement tool overlapping it, as described above.
