Just a quick question about rolling for moving through difficult terrain. If you are, say, 4" away from a piece of difficult terrain, when you go for your roll and only get 3", do you only move the 3" or do you move up to the terrain and stop there?

Also if you declare you are rolling for difficult terrain and roll double 1s, can you instead move your full distance without going through terrain?

Yes, you will only move 3".

No, you will move 1", regardless of whether you go through the terrain or not.

You MUST move one inch if you attempt to move through difficult. Also you MUST move the three inches even if the DT is four inches away.

No, you MAY move up to the maxiumum permitted by the Dice. You do not HAVE to move at all. You can even say "I'm gonna try and go in here", roll 2,1 then go "Oh bollocks, ok, I'll go the other way then" and not go into it at all.

Once you declare you are moving into difficult terrain and roll the dice you are bound by your dice roll regardless of whether or not you actually make it into difficult terrain or choose not to head for the difficult terrain.

You don't of course have to move or can move upto the dice roll.

If you decide not to move you count as having moved for firing.

Huh i apologize and that is definitely good to know. Damn so many screwed up opportunities.

Gwar speaks the truth with a bit of Clarification though:

If you roll the dice for Difficult you count as moving even if you decide not to make the attempt. You can opt to not enter the terrain but once you roll the dice your movement is adjusted based on that roll, it becomes the units max move for that movement phase.

edit: darn ninja'd as I typed!

That's actually completely wrong.

How is that "completely wrong" ?

Envy - I'd suggest providing some more reason than "thats completely wrong", especially when it is correct...

Unless your page 14 is somehow different then the rest of our page 14's, then you might be right.

But page 14 says exactly what he said.

MY page 14 has a picture of a kitty on it.

eNvY - Please explain - in case I have read the rules incorrectly.
