Premeasuring

By Susanooo, in Rules

Can i premeasure with movement templates? I think i cant but some people started arguing about that its written that you can use movement templates durning units activation (under premeasuring in rules refference). Your thoughts?

Premeasuring with the movement template is perfectly fine, but only during that unit’s activation. You can only measure from the unit leader, and only one movement at a time (cannot check 2-3 moves ahead, for example).

Premeasuring from page 42:

Quote

Players can measure with the range ruler at any time. Movement
tools can be placed against a unit’s leader and adjusted freely
only during that unit’s activation.

But it doesnt say you can ,,measure" but can be placed so it also could mean ,,you are allowed to place movement template only durning units acrivation (when moving)" and i think thats how it was intended so im expecting official ffg clarification about this topic. For me its: youve put template on tge table = you have declared a move action. Most of the players in my area agreed with this statement and its how we judged on our local tournaments.

Already been clarified. It’s one of the emails in this post (sorry, can’t link to the exact email, but it’s near the end of that particular post):

Basically, do what the rules say, and don’t do what the rules don’t say. The premeasure section doesn’t say it has to be during a move. Only says it must be during that unit’s activation.

Edit: in case you have difficulty finding it, here’s the exact Q and A:

Q: Can you, at any time during a unit’s activation, freely place the movement tool down on the table, measure whatever you want, then pick it up and choose your action?

A: Yep, that is correct.
