Double spaced figures and water movement

[stubobj]

I have a map (A river runs through it) that has a 1 hex river that goes through swamp water. Can a double-space figure move through this river with out stopping?



Can a Deathstalker move across this line with out stopping?


Moving onto water: When you move onto a water space from any other space (even from another water space), you must end your move there. Note: Double-space figures can move past one water space thats between two non-water spaces without stopping; they must stop only if they move onto two water spaces.

Swamp is still considered a water space right? Im pretty sure, with a map set up like above, double-space would still have to stop. Can someone just confirm this for me.

I would say they keep moving because swamp water does not limit movement. But that is just my opinion.

Swamp is land for terrain effects and water for special powers. So yes, given sufficient movement doubles could move across quite easily - even better than nonswamp because it is on the same level.

Adding a "what Aldin said." Swamp water counts as water for special powers, but swamp water is different from (just) water for terrain effects - there is no "figures must stop their movement in swamp water" rule.

Not very often do I like it when Im wrong but this is one of those cases where its a good thing. Im looking forward to trying out some Deathstalkers. Thanks for the responses guys.
