Very defensive, space puppy is.

The entire board is open ground, and you draw jaws along this, and only this.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that I automatically lean away from your point of view because you keep insulting the guy arguing with you. We should all be fairly mature here, if you need to do that in an argument you've got a problem.

Now, it just so happens that I agree with "the space puppy" in this argument. The line drawn by Jawws, in my oppinion, would hit everything on the ground level of the table. Area terrain that is on the ground level, while multiple levels of the ruin are not. But as much as I'd love it, your argument of putting a model in terrain to avoid Jaws isn't supported by the rules of the game. You keep falling back to the rules of math, where a line is 1 dimentional and infinitely thin, etc. These aren't the rules of the game.

Hi guys
How does power "Jaws of the World Wolf" (SW) against a Swooping Flying Monstrous Creature?

Not sure why this topic has gotten side-tracked into JotWW 'line' arguments again (which are irrelevant and pointless)...but the answer here is crystal clear:

FMC are a distinct unit type from Monstrous Creatures and since they're not listed under things that JotWW affects, they cannot be affected by it.

Regardless of whether FMC are either swooping or gliding, either way they only ever *move* like a Jump Monstrous Creature they are NOT a Jump Monstrous Creature.

Because there *are* Jump Monstrous Creatures (Dreadknights with Personal Teleporters), and they would be affected by JotWW.

Open ground is terrain, specifically open terrain as per page 90.
So why can I draw a line along one type of terrain and not another?

So you can draw through and around the terrain at the same time? Because that is the only way to hit someone not on the flat surface of the board, one story up in ruins.

Oh look, you just drew a plane....

Why do you keep jumping to the assumption that I am trying to justify hitting the 2nd story of a ruin? I amn't, you cannot hit the top floor of a ruin with jaws or the 2nd or whatever, if you're in the rubble on the ground you do get hit.

If you are on the ground floor of a ruin, on a hill or in some trees. You get hit as you are on the surface of the terrain.

Why do you both keep bringing up this whole 'line' thing? The OP's question has been answered. If you feel the need to debate this, start a new thread.
