So my friend bought this game and I don't have access to the rule book currently, but we we're playing last night (I'm using Mak, the bold renegade) and I was blasting away at this red Nexu and everything was going swell, till it wasn't and I had to fall back (incoming probe droids). So I disengaged (3 spaces) and on my activation hid behind a wall of solid red lines and rested. Here's where the actual question comes in, the Nexu on its next activation moved its 6 spaces and performed its leap action OVER the red lines to slash me. Does this mobile ability include attacks as well as movement? I wasn't arguing about his Nexus' ability to crawl over impassible terrain, rather to attack through it from three spaces away. This also brings up the line of sight issue as well. Also for future reference, if a Nexu moves through blue (difficult) terrain, will it's leap be reduced to two spaces instead of three? That situation didn't occur, but it might save me one day if that's the case. And finally, would a Nexu be able to leap over the dashed red lines to slash as well? Clarification will be much appreciated!

Pounce is a placement within 3 spaces. When placed, one of the new spaces the figure occupies must be within 3 spaces of any of the spaces it occupied. This gives the Nexu an effective range of 4.

Difficult terrain and figures do not affect Counting Spaces, and thus not Pounce. Counting Spaces also does not require line of sight, it can go around corners. However, Counting Spaces cannot not go through blocking terrain (solid red), but can through impassable terrain (dotted red.)

Counting Spaces can use diagonals unlike normal large-figure movement, so Pounce can sometimes take the Nexu further than 6mp would.

(Also, Pounce can have the Nexu be placed partially on top of blocking terrain, as long as the target space for Pounce is a non-blocking space.)

Awesome dude, Thanks!

Huh, I didn’t know that a Nexu (mobile) can’t count into a space containing blocking terrain.

Why does the ruling regarding counting spaces

Quote

This measurement cannot go through walls, doors, or blocking terrain. (RRG, page 9)

cancel out the rule regarding mobile figures?

They can also enter impassable and blocking terrain... (RRG page 19)

Mobile basically says you may enter and end movement on a blocking terrain, it's just that you may not count through a blocking terrain while counting spaces for "Pounce", because that follows "Counting Spaces" rule and "Mobile" does not override that

There is nothing to cancel out. Mobile and Massive only affect movement and which are valid spaces to end movement. They do not affect Counting Spaces at all.
