TerraClips/Terrain Question

[ShaddowKatt]

So I'm playing an "Inside" game and I ran into a problem.

I'm using the TerraClips "Streets of Malifaux" set and my opponent wants to walk through a 30mm (width) door to attack some of my models inside the 'room' but we're not sure if a 50mm could "squeeze" through the door or not.

Are there any rules for/against/about this kind of problem?

Also, while I'm posting we've ran into the same kind of problems with models moving under "bridges" - what we're wondering here is can a Ht 3 model "squeeze" under a 2 inch bridge? Does this count as Sever Terrain or Impassable or is it just a goofy loophole?

I would say so. Just to keep it somewhat balanced. It's not like it's trying to jump through the bars in a prison or something. Really I think it matters mostly on what you and your opponent agree on.

Personally, unless it's a written rule, I would allow it.

The way we play it:

- only small based models can go through small doors, height doesn't matter

- all models can go through large doors, height doesn't matter

- a model can squeeze under a construction, but than it's movement is halved, we don't treat is as sever terrain cause some rules would negate that

Thanks for the posts. I could see that and agree with that. The small doors...eh, I guess it's just a house-ruling/agree before the game starts... On a side note, what rules negate the severe terrain under bridges?

[nachtnebel]

No rule negates specially severe terrain under bridges, but enough allow you to ignore movement restrictions due to severe terrain, which we don't want to happen if a model has to squeeze itself under a bridge or something similar.

Having regular Hamelin unable to walk through a door simply because his base size includes a dog seems a bit weird.

As a house rule, treating them as Severe terrain for models larger than the gaps seems like an easy solution.

If you do rule it that models with large bases cannot pass through doors (and I'm not sure I would until I had tried a few games), then just remember that walls and doors are destructible terrain.
