    Hello everyone,

    Can the blue troop declare speculative attack (i.e. with a grenade) against the red one inside the armory?... is it legal?

    Grenade will just bounce into the room.

    Maybe counter intuitive, but yes, legal

    Well, because The Armory has Infinitely tall walls and also I'm not sure how to interpret the second requirement for speculative attack:
    "It must be possible to draw a trajectory between the Trooper and the impact point."
    But I think I understand now
    Thanks everyone for your help!

    Being able to draw a trajectory really just means you can't Spec Fire into a sealed room.

    As Infinity is 180 years into the future I assume most grenades are" Smart" and have a limited amount of mobility, allowing them to go around walls, through vents, etc.

    Or, in this case, simply be thrown around the doorframe.
    Given a greande has a blast radius, one doesn't need to exactly drop it into the opponent's lap - merely have it land close enough.

    This is how it works IRL.
