Or it could be that the rule under discussion is printed in a 6th edition codex and is a marked difference to 5th edition codexes.

The edge of the board has not, as far as I know from at least 4th onwards, ever been impassable terrain. You just do not have permission to move OFF the edge of the board.
If it were impassable terrain in 5th (or 4th, etc) how did you move reserves on? Magic?

It is only impassible from on the board moving off, not from off of it moving onto the board. Like a one way mirror that...
Lol ok seriously I have no idea where they got that from. Maybe from the previous FaQ that talked about the edge of the board being the end of the world?

Why is this 5 pages. IGS reducing the scatter distance can only be used for;
1. If you have Scattered onto another model
2. If you have Scattered onto impassable terrain.
If you scatter off the board, you are neither on another model or impassable terrain and unable to use IGS rules to reduce scatter, you are off the board, you mishap.
It shouldn't need to state in its rules that you mishap when you scatter off, you have a permission. Scattering off the table isn't within that.

The confusion is if you're off the board AND over another model/impassable terrain. Does reducing scatter mean you don't mishap?
The answer is no, but it's a fine question.

Ya, scatter placement then work back taking each obstacle as it comes.
