I must be missing it because I don't see a citation from you. You reference the original rule and your interpretation/question relating to it, but no citation that you'd check LOS during the act of moving a model.


The core rules for the game only make mention of moving models past other models during a move and there's no part of them which states that you pause moving part way through a move to re-check properties (line of sight, ranges, auras etc...)

Nor do I. P5, perhaps you would point out where you cite your evidence in this thread?

It is irrelevant for the purposes of this stratagem. "It must end this move closer to the closest visible enemy unit." How do you do this logically?

Before you move, you must:
1. Determine which unit are visible, using LOS rules.
2. Determine which of those units is the closest, using the rules for measuring distance between units.
3. Note which unit it was and the distance between those units.

Then after you move you must:
1. Determine the distance between your unit and the designated closest visible enemy unit, using the rules for measuring distance between units.
2. Verify that the distance is now shorter than it was before the move.

This is simple logic along with application of game rules. LOS and Distance during the move are irrelevant.

This is exactly what you’re doing.

I have provided a citation for my interpretation, and i expect other people to provide a citation for their interpretation as well.


You said which words you’re referring to, but they don’t mean the same thing as you claim they do. It’s an entirely gonzo way of arguing a point, but given you don’t have a point that seems apt.

By the way I have cited and explained mine, and it’s supported by the rules and logic. Kthanxbai.
