The Source - moving with the Captured Officer through difficult terrain.

By mynameisboba, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

In the core campaign mission ‘The Source’, the mission rules state:

“A Rebel figure can interact with the captured officer to perform the following:

• The hero and the captured officer each move 2 spaces.”

Does difficult terrain affect this?

"Move X Spaces" is different from "gain X movement points" in a few ways. First, all movement has to happen right away (unlike gaining movement points, which go into your "pool" and can be spent later in your activation). Second, moving spaces does not take into account extra costs for difficult (i.e. blue) terrain or for moving through hostile figures.

So, in short, no :)

The above is correct. Move X spaces ignores extra movement point costs because it doesn't use movement points. Also see other questions about the Source:

"Move X spaces" does pop up in a few other places in IA as well (forgetting where atm). So it's a good clarification to get out of the way. ^^

Just to help you out with the example: Gharkhaan's charge is probably the most prominent, with Jyn's Opportnist being another common one.
