Overlapping Dazer/Difficult Terrain

Hello everyone,

I will be frank in that I've vary rarely played with difficult terrain in our local boards. And I have been more curious to try playing around with Dazers.

The question is, if you have 2 Dazers overlapping (or a Dazer overlapping with other difficult terrain) is each area considered separate for the purposes of Effects point 1 of Difficult Terrain (IE you have to stop at entering each one). Or do they become a homogenous zone of difficult terrain and you would need gaps to induce multiple stops.

As I have attempted to read the rules it seems to suggest the former as each Dazer deployed creates a Difficult Terrain area, and Difficult Terrain indicates you stop when you contact a difficult terrain area. But I can also see the latter as being significantly less frustrating to deal with overall and is more commonly intended.

I would appreciate any feedback on this question.

 

Would this be a case of stacking mods? I do understand that the penalty to MOV values would not stack, but I'm more wondering about if you are under the effects of difficult terrain and another difficult terrain overlaps it, do you have to stop because you are contacting a new area of difficult terrain?

Because this question can extend beyond just 2 Dazers overlapping. If you have a couple terrain pieces (let's say some Jungle terrain) with Difficult Terrain (Jungle) and then put a Dazer down to bridge the gap between them, can you now run through that whole section having only being forced to stop moving once?

My main concern regarding this is also one of abuse/negative play experience. While the rules seem pretty clear to me that you have to stop at each area of difficult terrain, you could then just deploy a large number of Dazers, creating this line where if you don't have terrain total you need to spend a large number of orders stopping at each one because there would be some small natural spacing from each token.
