Alright I am normally pretty good with the rules but I got a bit of a curve ball thrown at me concerning Stampede for the pigs. This came out of someone pointing something out on Pull My Finger and me looking it up. Now I know Pull My Finger is not always right, or up to date, or what not, but I was wondering if I was either missing something or a ruling somewhere.
In pull my finger is says, when talking about Stampede and the Pig Boomerang
"remember that during Swine Dash's the pigs must push their full Cg directly toward the nearest non-pig model within LOS however may go beyond the target after the gore/nibble strike (meaning that once you have reached the closest non-pig model within LOS and attacked you can continue the push past him in a new direction and vary the distance to allow a new target)"
Someone said that the new direction is you picking another direction, as it is no longer having to move in a strait line toward's its original target *as it reached its target*. Taking a look at the PDFs of the V2 cards it looks like to me that you keep going in that direction, just that you can move past your target and keep pushing up to your Cg in that direction. Effectively a strait line just past the model. Is there something about the anatomy of this spell I am missing or a ruling I am not finding?
This might become important in our group as we recently picked up two new gremlin players and already had a few part time moonshiners lurking about.
