Yea I understand. Not trying to argue this, more trying to figure out how people are playing it before a clarification comes out. I definitely do not think it is intended.
The other thing is... let's say I declare my move in an attempt to reach B2B contact with an enemy model, but because I can't pre-measure I end up falling short. Do I still move? What if the closest enemy model is towards my own DZ?
The "no doubling back" clause is only for heading to the enemy DZ. You will enter silly contact with the closest enemy trooper, no matter which direction. As for what happens if you can't? Then you head towards the enemy DZ. Remember, you can't premeasure before declaring Move, but you can premeasure before declaring WHERE you move.
Nonono, Patroclus is a manly man’s man. He’s the Princess. Achilles would be the knight in shiny armor. @Hecaton Infinity is not a shady dressing room of a gay bar. It’s more like chess, it has room for more than one Queen - although, if the first were true the avatar would be more akin to a boar in a pink tutu.
Well, in the myths Achilles was such a pretty boy that he was able to crossdress very convincingly, to the point where he couldn't be found out.
After you declare move, you measure and see where you can go before determining direction/path (this is a change from N3). So you would check if you could get into B2B, and if not, then you go to deployment zone.
Achilles is the knight in shiny armour, Patroclus is the king. The Princess does not even enter the equation.
I hadn’t thought about this problem from that angle. I forgot you had to declare before measuring which way to go. so in the enemy DZ I would declare move, fail all checks, then shoot/dodge probably.
