Double Spaced Figures on Water

[Khenemutankh]

Apologies if this has been clarified.

Say you have a map with a 2 hex wide river. You wish to take a double spaced unit (non-flying) across it. This unit must stop when it hits the water, yet cannot land crooked (the water is a lower height than the hex before it.) Can the unit not cross? How is this resolved?

Thanks in advance,

A figure only has to stop once it is fully in water. So a double spaced figure can cross a single hex wide water feature.

When a crossing a 1-hex wide river, a double-spaced unit can cross in one turn (assuming enough move)

When crossing a 2-hex wide river, a double-spaced figure may move on to the first space of the river, but must stop on the second space.

The figure cannot stop on a split level surface either. If it runs out of move one hex into the water it cannot end half-in and half-out. It has to stop before the water.

Also if it puts even at least one hex on lava it has to roll or be destroyed.

Thanks all for the helpful replies.

I thought you were asking this:

When a double-space figure moves from a water space on one level, up to a water space on the next level, can it continue moving since the 2 water spaces it now “occupies” are not on the same level?

If so, this is the answer:

No. Technically, the double-space figure is on 2 water spaces so it must stop. But since it is on different levels and it cannot stop on different levels, it cannot move up to that 2nd level water space. It must find another way around.

Which can be found here, in the official FAQ:

Wow Rÿchean, that's an obscure ruling. I don't think it's ever come up in a game I've played, but good to know nevertheless.
