    I had a game yesterday, and the definition of most direct route possible had an impact. Is it counted as shortest distance (as the crow flies) while walking around of jumping over obstacles, or is it least number of orders spent to get there.

    In this case it was 2 targets, 1 was 16 inches away at ground level (2 walk orders), the other was around 10 inches away but had a wall in the way (3 orders, walk, climb over wall, walk). Which one does he move towards?

    ----------------------
    From Wiki:
    Impetuous Order: Direction of Movement
    When executing a Move as part of an Impetuous Order, the trooper must move towards the nearest enemy figure by the most direct route possible.

    The nearest enemy figure is the one that can be reached in the least number of Orders, even if that figure is not in LoF. Jump or Climb skills must be used if that would shorten the route.

    You quoted the relevant rule yourself. See the underline above.
