Example
W= Wall
R= Rebel
E = Imperial
[ ] [E] [X] [W]
[ ] [R] [W]
[ ] [ ] [W]
Can R move into space X with one movement or two?
Moving diagonally past an enemy?
I vote one movement.
Been curious about this myself.
Appendix II, figure I in the Rules Reference Guide.
One movement point.
Agreed. One movement
Yep, its really pretty easy to sidestep a figure in your way with two movement points and a little bit of open space.
Does seem a bit odd if you try to think about the physics, but seems ok with the game balance. Just imagine everyone can move like an NFL running back and you're good
I am wondering can you move diagonally past an enemy if there is a wall?
[ x ]
[ ] [e] [wall]
[R] e= enemy
R= rebel
Can the rebel move diagonally to x if there is a wall?
Edit: posting from phone the x is supost to be above wall.

@Ken Like this? With the underline under the X being the wall.
I think if it's a legal move _without_ the enemy present then it is a legal move with them present. So I think this would work, don't have my books with me.
Edited by rumblefishYes like that. I would think with the wall there you would not be able to move diagonally.
That's the bit I can't remember. I don't think the enemy makes a difference either way though...?
rules reference guide page 19 movement
• Figures can move diagonally along the corner of any
individual wall, blocking terrain, or impassible terrain, but a
figure cannot move through the diagonal intersection of any
combination of wall, blocking terrain, or impassible terrain
(see “Appendix II - Movement Examples” on page 27)
.p27 appendix II, movement examples
• A figure can move diagonally past blocking terrain (1),
impassible terrain (2), walls (3), and figures (4). If there is a
figure positioned diagonally to the terrain, walls, or another
figure, this does not cost additional movement points.
