Noob Question Salvo

By ovinomanc3r, in Rules

1. When jumping, should I consider the terrain difficulty? I mean, could Luke use his jump keyword to move through a barricade at speed 2 instead of 1 (-1 by difficult terrain)?

2. Speeder bikes cannot displace troopers when performing a non compulsory move. They can also move through troopers. They are speeder 1 so may they move and their movement "above" the troopers? It seems weird to me they can end their movement on top of anything else (height 1 of course) but tiny troopers.

3. Bikes again. They have not melee weapon and if they cannot move over troopers and there is the rule preventing from non-melee units to end base contact with an enemy unit what I do if I move the bikes? End their movement at 1mm from base contact?

4. More bikes. When flying over terrain can they end over something even not being able to place the base? The full base requirement is for climbing and clambering.

5. Similarly. As long as the full base requirement is for climbing and clambering, what happens when a trooper mini end its movement over something trough a standard move (as long as the obstacle is not higher than leader unit height.)?

6. Troopers displaced by a compulsory move receive supression tokens right?

Thanks in advance.

"Ignore terrain" in the ability description

It is to prevent some abuse on already very mobile units. Remember you do not have to move the full distance so you can stop before them with non compulsory moves.

3. Bikes again. They have not melee weapon and if they cannot move over troopers and there is the rule preventing from non-melee units to end base contact with an enemy unit what I do if I move the bikes? End their movement at 1mm from base contact?
On the compulsory move, the units that are displaced are moved just outside contact. Quote: "When placing a displaced mini, it cannot be placed in base contact with an enemy mini.". Note this prevents AT-RTs from displacing enemies and engaging them in melee at the same time.

4. More bikes. When flying over terrain can they end over something even not being able to place the base? The full base requirement is for climbing and clambering.
Gap in the rules at the moment, but apparently you can place them however you see fit (just remember that unstable minis can cost a lot... So unless it's the only thing to do, try to avoid doing that.)

5. Similarly. As long as the full base requirement is for climbing and clambering, what happens when a trooper mini end its movement over something trough a standard move (as long as the obstacle is not higher than leader unit height.)?

Unspecified int he rules. "While moving a mini along a path created by a movement
tool, if the base of the mini is impeded by an object, that
mini must stop its movement prematurely unless the
mini can legally move through, over, or on top of the
obstructing object."
They don't define "legally on top" so no idea, but once again, try to avoid these situations, it's common sense.

6. Troopers displaced by a compulsory move receive supression tokens right?

Yes

Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

Regarding question 2 my purpose is specifically to move fully with a standard move. Basically what I want is to avoid being stucked by a trooper unit in my path. The base is big and the cohesion rule allow to cover a good area. Even being able to move through them, they may target landing area to prevent me from moving as I wish... what feels weird.

You can totally move above, troopers don't have any "height".

Just follow the regular movement rules for vehicles, except you don't displace the enemy troops.

I think OP is referring to ending the move on a trooper, which is not allowed. So it is possible for a player to "block" bikes with well-placed troopers.
