Goryshche and Splitting Tails Asset

[brian291]

Hi,

Can the Goryshche move to a Portal Marker that is covered by a non-titan fireteam, if it has the Slitting Tails ability.

I know they can move thought non-titan fireteams, but can't stop on them, so would they be able to, as the wording says -

Slithering Between Spaces: When a Fireteam in this unit is placed in base contact with a Portal Marker (for any reason), it may immediately move up to 5".

It's the word "Immediately" that's got me thinking i'd be able to, as it hasn't stopped...

 

Thanks

Brian

No, what you’re trying to do requires the fireteam to be placed first:

“If an object does not fit in a location, it cannot be placed and does not move.” and “A Fireteam may not be placed on top of another Fireteam.” (Place, Page 17, PDF).

That causes the placement to fail if there’s no room to place Goryschyche in base contact with the portal.  The fact that you intend to move from that position immediately upon placement doesn’t waive the requirement.
