Since distance is in general only measured horizontally and not vertically, then the rules as written seem to say that a unit with Jump can't jump over enemy units, since it can't be within 1" horizontally of the unit. I'm not sure this really makes much sense though - it seems to me they should be able to jump over enemy units, but the rules just say that they can go over impassible terrain up to 9" tall, which is something completely different. Can anyone clarify on this?

We have been allowing it without even thinking about it but now that you mention it maybe it was never meant to work that way. It would certainly make them a bit less effective and balance out jump infantry.

Yes, they can. As long as your move doesn't leave you in Impassable terrain and the unit you are jumping over is not more then 9" tall [have yet to see one that is…].

Thanks Gobbo - can you point to somewhere in the rules where this is mentioned? The rules for "jump" and "climb" are identical except for the number of inches/floors, but I assume units that climb can't climb over enemy troops.

You obviously have yet to see blkdymnd's creation.

Thanks for the reminder, I gotta start working on Warfare stats for him

Ok, the question is now under review by the FAQ people. As the rules for Jump are different than in Tactics…

Felkor makes a good point - traditionally you cannot move within 1'' of enemy soldiers. Then again, theres no reason why you could'nt fit between gaps etc.

One thing to add to the list gobbo if youd be so kind - my Mickey.

I realise Mickeys have jump, which is great for getting over stone walls and tank traps. But when im able to leap a 3 story building, im fairly sure thats not right. Can we clarify that jump for vehicles gives exactly the same height as jump infantary, and if so justify the mickeys high flying abilties?

As written right now, yes your Micky can jump over a 3 story building. As to justification… Not sure.. LOL

ive been saying its BS aswell - even so far as to presume perhaps the mickey kool-aid mans itsway through impassable terrain. Add that to the things to be FAQ'ed please gobbo and ill buy you a pint and/or coffee.

I con only pass it on to the FFG folks and I know they patrol the forums here daily to see what needs to be FAQ'ed and what not. It is on the list…

good enough - ive no idea how often FFG listen. Its one way glass on my end unfortunately. Cheers.
