Multipule level terrain in a single bound.

By Dwane Diblie, in Rules

Had a little discussion with my opponent a week ago. Is it posable to climb/clamber multipule levels of terrain in a single action if the final position is still range 1 or less and up to move one away?

I though it was fine. He thought diferently as the leader was not incontact with the wall on the first level of the terrain piece and only in base witb the bottom level and therefor could only go up the one floor. As it was his terrain I was more than happy to let it go his way. But I am interested to know for sure.

The rules are not worded to handle multiple level pieces that are the same piece of terrain.

I can see an argument either way.

One of the many thugs you need to discuss with your opponent about terrain before the game starts.

It depends on the shape of the terrain. Is it a building, with a flat vertical face and multiple levels along that face? This might be ok, maybe come to an agreement before the game.

Or is it more like a stepped, rocky area with steps wider than the unit’s base diameter? I don’t think this would be allowed.

Just to be clear: you aren’t getting any lateral movement out of the climb/clamber are you? When you climb, you start in base contact with the vertical surface and end in base contact with the edge directly above (or as close to it as possible). From RRG page 10.

No. You can only climb (<=height 1) or clamber (<=height 2) from base contact side of terrain to base contact ledge (or vice versa).

If the leader is in a location where his ascent to the top is broken up by a ledge that the mini can reside on, it would stop there first.

Based on how the rules are written, the only way you could climb/clamber up 2 different pieces of terrain would be if you start in base contact with it. Then as your first move action clamber up the first, placing your unit leader at the top but both in base contact with the next thing you want to clamber up AND at the edge of the terrain you just clambered up. Essentially there would need to be a ledge between the 2 exactly the width of the diameter of the miniature's base.

Of course whatever rules you and your opponent agree on are fine. If you both agree you can climb/clamber up both as a single move then so be it.
