I'm confused on this so which way would I expand my starting area on dark dimension.
I fill 24 squares exactly.


Thanks for the help.

I think (not totally sure) that you'd be 3 rows closer to the top of the map or the side. That may be different if you have multi-bases.

Thanks i'm so confused on the wording.

From the Comprehensive Rule Book:

You add Columns first before adding rows. Columns would be on the side, expanding horizontally. So you will only expand closer to your opponent's starting area if you expand all the way to the edges and still cannot fit your force.

I just thought about this but what happens if the the map has blocking around the edges.
That i'm expanding into?

You can't place characters in blocking, so you fill as much as you can and then start adding rows.

It looks like this only applies to one player, too. I remember the old version increased it for both players.

It applies to both:

The rules for expanding were updated a bit because of the use of colossal figures.

Colossal figures affect how you expand your starting area because they must be placed first. Then place the next smaller size in your starting area. Once your starting area is filled then you expand out adding columns.

A column is considered to be 1 square wide by the depth of your starting area, typically 2 squares.

In the example of Dark Dimension, a column is 1 square wide by 3 squares deep. In some cases on that map, I see that there are 1x1 squares of blocking when you start expanding, where it prevents you from expanding that column to 1x3. Since that blocking is part of the column expansion, it would only be 1x2 on that column.

FRIENDLY SIDENOTE: the Dark Dimension map is NOT LEGAL for tournaments and events.
