I am not finding the rules on how this interaction would work. In our play group we had just let people move freely in the DZ with the impetuous activation as long as we never left the DZ, assuming there was no enemy troop to force that move. we had agreed that leaving the DZ would constitute doubling back and any movement within the DZ was “toward the DZ” feels a bit odd to me coming from N3. How do you guys play it? Am i missing anything agregious? This was a quick ruling on our part to keep the game going, but my deep dive is netting 0 results.
No matter how high the Avatar's heels might have been once, Aleph's giant playboy bunny robot will always be the queen.
When you reach the DZ, your crazy guy continues to run to the edge of the table until it leaves the game, screaming like a mad.
If your trooper has ancestral ties to the fallen American Empire, it will proceed to perform a ritual once known as a "touchdown dance."
Jokes aside, I think the correct answer here is that you wouldn't be able to use the impetuous order if you've reached the enemy DZ (or the end of the DZ). However, you could always activate with a regular order to leave that area, and on a subsequent turn use the impetuous order as normal.
You should still be able to use it to move into base contact with an enemy if possible, but other movement would not be possible?
the only thing that frustrates me with this logic is the inability to activate at all when you cannot do either of those things. RAW says we MUST move, so if we cannot declare move at lease once then we cannot do anything. this also means that starting in CC with something prevents us from using our impetuous order. I do not think that is intended.
Wouldn't declaring move in Base contact turn into an idle? So you could, functionally, still do what you normally do when engaged in CC, you just declare it slightly differently?
by that logic I could declare move then not move with the first short skill right? aside from that Engaged state has a list of skills that are allowed while engaged. move not being one of them
You mean while engaged? Yeah, that was my thought, too. But even if no... was this brought up in N3? It's not like the mechanics have changed in this regard. When do we check if a trooper is in the engaged state... ... ... ... Not a serious question.
