I have a question about the Drop Pod Inertial Guidance System special rule. Here it is as written

Should a drop pod scatter on top of impassable terrain or another model (friendly or foe) then reduce the scatter distance to the minimum required in order to avoid the obstacle.

The question being. Can a Drop Pod scatter off the edge of the board or would you just bring it back the minimum distance required for it not to end up off the board.

Thanks

Off the board is neither another model, nor impassible terrain. So you can scatter off the board and mishap.

Pretty sure it says this right in the DP rules

Sweet that's what I thought. I was just making sure.

The marine FAQ also answers this question.
