Aesop Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 What happens when a rule says something like "push into base contact with target model" but something is obstructing the direct path to the model and it would be impossible to follow the line and push into b2b?

0 Aesop Posted July 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 An example of this would be the trigger on Montressor's action below: (1) Toss the Noose (Sh 6 / Rst: Df / Rg: z10): Target suffers 1/4/7 damage. (Crow) Pull 'em Tight: After damaging, target must discard two cards or be pushed into base contact with this model. ...but if a model is standing in front of montressor, it would interrupt the target model's push...

0 Fetid Strumpet Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 The model would follow the most direct, straight line path, from closest base edge to closest base edge, until they either end in b2b with the appropriate model, or they are obstructed by another model or terrain, in which case, they stop.

0 ArcticPangolin Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 The model would follow the most direct, straight line path, from closest base edge to closest base edge, until they either end in b2b with the appropriate model, or they are obstructed by another model or terrain, in which case, they stop. I thought that this would be what you did if it said to push 'towards'? If it said to push into base contact, would you not look for a straight line path to end in base contact rather than the most direct route (ie closest edge to closest edge)? And if none existed, the controlling model would choose any straight line path that would end in base contact but stops at the obstruction?

All pushes in relation to a specific point must follow the shortest route towards or away from that point. So no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Hateful Darkblack Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yeah, you go center-to-center, straight line toward Montresor or whatever. If you bump into anything blocking, like a model or a wall (even a climbable wall), even if it's just clipping an edge a little, you stop. Lures can move around obstacles. Charges can take oblique angles to get to the target. But Pushes must go directly center-to-center straight line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArcticPangolin Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 Man, my opponents and I have been playing it wrong then... it's been 'towards' is directly towards, but if it doesn't say 'towards' then as long as it's a straight line and fulfills the action criteria (ie ends in base contact) it's okay.

0 Fetid Strumpet Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 There is no towards vs directly towards anymore. They are all directly towards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens when a rule says something like "push into base contact with target model" but something is obstructing the direct path to the model and it would be impossible to follow the line and push into b2b?
