Pre-measurement - toward/away & crisis

[Thoras]

1. Are you allowed to pre-measure/pre-check a toward/away effect with the bent tool? I.e. See what the possible angles are before committing

- I believe this to be a no because it’s not a distance your measuring and it’s only distance that’s called out as being pre-measurable.

2. Are you allowed to pre-measure crisis placement before choosing table edge?

- The step order for building a mission with step 5 (table edge choice) being before mission setup implies to me a desire to leave it to a less analyzed choice, but I’m unsure if the game is considered to have started yet for pre-measurment purposes

1. You cannot pre-measure an angle for the reasons you gave. 
 

2. Setting up the game is part of the game. You can use tools in different ways or in numbers greater than one each only when the game calls for it (e.g. creating a toward/away angle or setting up the crisis). 

[Thoras]

Just to be clear.

The answer to number 2 means that yes, you can pre-measure during step 5 of the "Building a Mission" pop-out on page 11. However you can only use the normal one range ruler at a time and you can't mark the placement.

Correct?

[Negoldar]

That’s correct.
