Switching Figures while Moving

This solves the whole thread.

You cannot switch figures positions because the first squad member cannot end his/her move on an occupied hex whether it is your figure an ally's or an enemy's.

Thanks for your replies, Rev, Cav, and Stealthruler. I figured none of them were allowed, but thought we could hammer it out for sure.

You're missing the context of the sentence...

There is no overlap because the sentence is under the label order of movement which means that there is a definite order and one at a time means that you finish one before starting the next.

You move one, finish its movement. You move the next one, and finish its movement. etc.

SpartanNinja has it right. The sequence is not broken and it works...every time.

But, in answer to Tai Pan's question about the Izumi, in casual play, say if the black Krav dies, and he's your favorite one, I would say that it would be perfectly alright to make the girl Krav die instead, as the Krav all have similar hit zones. In answer to the Zombie question, it wouldn't matter that much in casual play if you're doing the death swap with a squad, in which all the members have similar hit zones. When I played against Myst9 last Saturday, we both used the death swap, as I call it.

Awesome! I got RevRepped for that post! Thanks!

In case anybody has another question on this, here is 3 things you should remember. The "ZETTIAN GUARDS" .(They have a low movement), cross a bridge, 1st. ZETTIAN GUARD goes "Hey #2 I see a[n] Insert character name here." The 2nd one either can't see it or it doesn't have range. So can you attack with #1 then switch? NO! Another example; you are facing MAJOR X17 with one of your insert squad here adjacent to him. You want to switch squad pieces because the one, MAJOR X17 is facing is your lucky one. Can you do that? NO! Lastly you have a Insert common squad character here. Your lucky one just died can you switch with one with no resemblance at all? NO! You can only switch with one that looks exactly the same. I hoped I helped a little.

Mr Dragonite, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Thanks for the neg rep Cav. Hey, way to be a jerk for neg repping someone who's trying to help. Hey, way to be an absolute _ _ _ to me no matter what m I do. Way to annoy everyone that knows you! You can fill in the blanks yourself. DUH the question was alrerady answered, but sometimes the asker would like confirmation from several people. You need to get a life other than neg repping people out of spite.
