An engagement question/shifting before attacking....

[peteparkerh]

Let's say we have the following set up


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * A * * * * * * *
* * * * * * B * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

* are the hexes
A & B are opposing players

Can B move as shown below with out taking a disengagement strike?

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * B * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * A * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

[Aldin]

Yes, as long as B doesn't fly without some form of disengage.

~Aldin, adding that B has to stay adjacent for the entire move too

[Cavalier]

As long as b never breaks engagement, he is fine. This is especially helpful for 'dancing' to higher elevations.

[Uprising]

This was one of our biggest questions when we started playing as well. We used to play that once you are engaged, you can't move at all unless you want a disengagement strike. I beleive someone posted a little diagram on HQ that cleared it up for me. Like Cav said, it's pretty key in regards to keep adjacency while moving to high ground.

[peteparkerh]

Ok, C is on the same side as B. W is a wall.

Can C slide through B to get to A?

Start
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * A * W * * * * *
* * * * * * * B W * * * * * *
* * * * * * C* W * * * * *
* * * * * * * W* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * W * * * * * *

Finish
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * A CW * * * * *
* * * * * * * B W * * * * * *
* * * * * * ** W * * * * *
* * * * * * * W* * * * * * *
* * * * * * * W * * * * * *

No, you cannot move through an engaged figure... unless you have a unit who has 'Ghost Walk' or 'Phantom Walk.'

[Uprising]

Can't slide through that way. You can't move through an engaged figure unless you card says you can like Agent Carr or the Ninjas.

EDIT: Beat by Hex :P

[Aldin]

If I'm reading it right the answer is no because B is engaged to A which means you can't move through B.

~Aldin, who also notes that the Gladiatrons and X17 can cancel the ability to adjust

EDIT Beat by Hex AND Uprising /EDIT

Ah, yes. Good point.

[peteparkerh]

Thanks, this is how we have been playing, but I just wanted to make sure.

This really is a great obsession.

This one was mastered by the Do-Si-Do Strike Force back during the Gulf War.
