Melee

By ozmodon, in Rules

Can a unit attack another unit in melee over a barricade? I cannot see why not, although everything I'm finding talks about base contact.

For a unit to perform a melee attack, they must be in base contact with each other. If one unit is on one side of a barricade and the other unit is on the other side of that barricade, then they are not in base contact, thus no melee attack is possible

The first half of the sentence does not match with the last half.
