shlominus 169 Posted April 5, 2018 the rules to climb up/down something are simple enough. what if i want to climb over a wall that's too high to just walk over? i couldn't find anything on that topic. am i blind? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Dancer 399 Posted April 5, 2018 Walls, barricades etc. Count as difficult terrain for troopers, so just reduce speed by 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tokra 1,990 Posted April 5, 2018 This is why you have to check before the game what type each terrain is. There is, for example, Low Stone Walls, this would be difficult for trooper and there is High Stone Walls, and this one is Impassable for troopers. Impassable means they have to move around (or use a door). In worst case you have to move into base contact, and climb up and down. 1 Kanawolf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shlominus 169 Posted April 5, 2018 defining the terrain doesn't really help in this case. the piece of terrain is defined. it's a wall higher than the troopers, so it is impassable to those troopers. it's also obvious that any soldier could easily scale it (you can climb up nearly twice as high). climbing up and then down again only works if you can actually be on top in between the moves. this is not possible with most "wall" terrain bits. it seems to be an oversight that there are no actual rules to climb over a 2m high wall. 2 colki and Kanawolf reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Undeadguy 5,730 Posted April 5, 2018 To climb or clamber, the mini has to be able to sit on the terrain. So if it's a thin wall, it will probably fall down making it an illegal move. It's a dumb rule. I'd prefer if you can just hop on the other side if you climb/clamber. 3 Alathazal, Kanawolf and Don Henderson fan club reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dosiere 476 Posted April 5, 2018 Yeah, it’s weird. This actually came up in a game yesterday for me. We ruled you can climb and swing over, but it takes an entire activation and required the roll for rushing a climb as well. Seemed like the right call. 2 Alathazal and Big Easy reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
