So, I’ve played SBG here and there for years, but I still very much consider myself a beginner. With Battle Companies there’s been a significant uptick in the number and frequency of games we’ve been playing, and a few rules keep popping up as...not exactly clear...over and over. I’ve put it here instead of Rules Questions just because of the sheer basic ness of the questions, but please feel free to delete or move these questions if they should properly be in the rules section instead of the Beginners.
Ok, In The Way rolls: these seem simple enough, but upon close rereading of the book, we’re still new enough that we’re...uncertain of the exact interactions with them. How, exactly, do you determine what IS in the way?? Is it a straight line from the mini? From the base? Is it like Warmachine, where you draw a line from each side of the minis base to the targets base? How exactly do people work it? I’ve seen many examples, but they’re all REALLY obvious In The Way, and don’t leave doubt...
Elevation: this gives no bonus or debuff to shooting or being shot at, correct? Does the shooter have to take an In The Way roll for, like...the lip of a cliff or building if the target is up there??
Sorry, as I’m writing this I’m realizing these probably SHOULD be in the rules section, but they are about ‘beginners’ with ‘beginners’ questions!
Looking forward to some answers!
