Hey there yesterday we were confronted with a "problem"...
Following setup:
The Orc Player wanted to move his ground units from an active system to an adjacent system, unfortunatly he couldnt move directly (from edge to edge) into the system because there were no ships left.
BUT he had a "legal path" through planets and voids connected through two other systems so that he was able to enter the system from the "other" edge.
Long story short: he moved via legal path through three systems in total, but still: the destination system was adjacent to the starting system.
The Rules Reference about moving ground units says:
1. "A legal path is a series of contiguous friendly areas leading to the destination world. There must be a legal path between the starting world and the destination world."
2. "The world a ground unit moves from must be in the active system or one system that is adjacent to the active system . Ground units cannot move into the active system from more than one adjacent system."
Questions:
Can u only move via "legal path" from one active system to ONE adjacent system without passing more systems in between?
Or is it simply possible and you can move your units from an adjacent system to the active system no matter how many systems are involved as long as the destination system is adjacent to the active system?
Thanks for your answers!
