two simple questions about soldier move and vehicle march move

By Wednes, in Dust Warfare Rules Discussion


soldier movement
can a soldier move in an arch or change direction during a single move
(i.e. move 3 inches north, 3 inches east)?

vehicle movement
can a vehicle move in an arch or change direction during a single move
(i.e. 3 inches north, 3 inches north-east - not changing face)?

vehicle march movement
A vehicle is doing a march move
can it change facing twice - (once each at beginning or end of each single move? -
or just once - at beginning or end of the complete march move?

Soldiers may move in any direction, facing is not important to infantry movement or shooting.

Vehicles may only move into thier front arc. 45 degrees to either side of the front center of the vehicle. The vehicle may also turn 90 degrees before or after a move. A march move will not give you an additional facing change but you may spend 1 action to do a spotturn and rotate upto 180 degrees.

Thank you for your speedy answer

(though I must admit I'm stiil insecure if the vehicle may turn twice or just once during a mach move).

Let me put the first two questions another way:

during a move

is zigzagging allowed ( say to move around a corner or to avoid an obstacle)

or do you have to move straight from start to end, in a beeline -

without changing the direction of your move?

example 1
the solder is starting at o
during a move, may he move to position A or B?
during A march move, may he move to position A, C or D?

With enough movement, you can move from the starting point to A, B, C or D. You can go any direction and combination of directions when moving Soldier units.
