Have two questions that came up tonite
1st Player wanted to move half a stick and claim one movement then as part of same vehicle movement he wanted to move half a stick and claim another point if movement this was straight ahead and total movement was less than one stick
How do others play this?
2nd a tank is completly in middle of one woods . The target is completely in another woods there are two tree lines separating them. I say they can not see each other
What say ya'll?
Thanks

So a puma moves 3x 1/4 inch can get credit the same a tank that moves 18 inches ?
You don't see something wrong?

So the fact there is a double tree line between them doesn't matter?

Were you ever in the army?

I still say gf9 needs to put out an errata
The more theses tankers play the more we are finding loopholes that can't be dismiss due to a simple game

I agree with zerstoerer - what Rook said is correct. I understand frustration with that, but if he so wished, your opponent could move one full arrow forward, and then the full arrow back, effectively staying stationary but count as double moved, to avoid half arrow moves. Or moving three full moves in a triangle when "fast" for being stationary at 3 movement-tokens.

But those partial moves too are valid, you don't need to move the maximum distance of an arrow.

The thing with cover will bug you much more when you and your opponent have two tanks a quarter-inch away from each other in the same woods and both get cover from the 3 yards of forest they shoot through. As Zerstoerer said, the game needs a good amount of abstraction to be explained - we on our end play literally, so for us a bailed out tank does everything it can do by the rules. but again: I understand that they don't like the rule and play it differently. (For us its "cant move, cant shoot" - the name of the card is "flavourtext" to convey a message, in our interpretation).

I would say however you want to play it, if rules are unclear or open to different interpretations, just propose a house rule or clarify how to handle said situation with your opponent prior to playing. Keeping discussions during games to a minimum, with everyone at the same understanding of rules, really helps the flow of things and doesn't frustrate one or another.

I remember a few weeks ago Commander was storming out of the forum in a girlie huff.

Seems like they can't let their troll-like behaviour go.

I don't mind a shuffle for 3 movement defence. I get the 3 dice as well when they shoot me

Pre-measuring in STAW is allowed at any time.
Pre-measuring in X-Wing is never allowed.

how is this still going on :D doesn't even the rulebook have a picture clarifying that partial movements are totally ok and also indeed count as individual, full moves?!

Victory point conditions are checked in the command phase! These vary depending on the mission you are playing!

Hope that helps! :- )
