When an officer wants to move a figure within two spaces can those spaces be counted over dashed red lines?
Officer question
Yes. Dashed red lines are "Impassable Terrain" referenced here:
"Counting Spaces", RRG, Page 9:
Many effects require players to measure the distance between two spaces. To determine this number, the player counts the number of movement points it would take for a figure to move from one space to the other.
Impassible terrain, figures, and difficult terrain can be moved into and through without costing additional movement point for this measurement. This measurement cannot go through walls, doors, or blocking terrain.
Edited by FizzWithin 2 spaces .... does that mean he has to be able to move there or can he also shout through a bunker wall? It doesn't sound logical to me that he could, but the card says nothing about being able to move there, it only says 2 spaces.
He has do be able to legally move there. He can shout *around* a wall if he could legally move there, but not though a closed door or through the aforementioned gap.
Better not to say the officer can "move" there, rather than can "count spaces" there. Thematically, impassible terrain is some office cubicle or desk or shrubbery or what-not that one could yell and shoot through but not move through (unless you are a charging wookie or pouncing nexu).
daa
I'll agree with that nomenclature. "Legally move" means something different than "count spaces to". The point I was trying to illustrate is that you cannot count spaces through a door, wall or blocking terrain.
