So within the footprint of area terrain ruins, it doesn’t seem like anything keeps you from measuring diagonally.

So instead of a 7” charge from a wall edge to get a terminator base up top and fighting, you’d need a 6” charge (1.5” base, getting 5” up and 1.5” over is 5.22”).

Any reason this doesn’t work?

just measure the horizontal distance, and as long as you with within 1/2" and 5" vertically afterwards, then you should be good to go.

Engagement range is within 1" horizontally and 5" vertically.

I must be getting confused with 2nd rank models rules for combat then... 1/2" of a model who is also within 1/2".

If your confusion stems from "why is that necessary since 1/2+1/2 =1", the range for the second rank would be 1/2+base diameter+1/2, so the second rank wouldn't necessarily be within 1"
