I have a quick question concerning the DC Outdoor Map 3. This one is the one that looks life a park/safari. The is only one building on it with the thick black lines and no stairs or ladder. Can this be gotten on to, and if so, and the only was with LC or flying. My only problem with this is if a person with range is perched up there, and your opponent has no range or LC, how would they attack you. We plan on using this map later tonite. I would apprciate any advice on how this is offically/unofficaly played. Thanks in advance.:D

Could get an opinion or answer on this please. Thanks, everyone!!!

I don't jave my maps with me here... so I'm going to venture some guesses....


I'm assuming that this is an Outdoor map.

Since this 'building' has no Stairs or Ladders....

I'm thinking that it would be considered Outdoor Grounded Blocking terrain.

What does that mean.... a bunch of headaches...

The short of it:

Only figures with Hovering or the Leap/Climb or Phasing super power would be able to access those squares (the flying figure cannot taxi anyone there that cannot get there themselves).

So, the grounded figures without Range would not be able to attack any Ranged figures up there.

You can't move figures onto terrain that they can't get to themselves? Where did that come from? Thanks for the input. That should work.

i had the same question myself and i see what your gettin at almost like the AC vents on rooftops type of deals i can live with that stops some cheezy tactics like taxing bullseye up there =)

thanks

Like I said, I don't have a map... so I'm guessing...


This comes from the fact it is an Outdoor map.

It is being ruled that those squares that are surrounded by a Blocking terrain line and have no Stairs/Ladders are considered to be Outdoor Blocking terrain...

There are special rules concerning this... let me first see if we can get another judge to confirm exactly what those square are before I start rambling off the Outdoor Blocking terrain rules.

Its a marvel map from the big box. We've always played as though it was elevated.

Tsannik is correct. This is actually the Outdoor map from the MARVEL premier set that is being discussed. Big pond in the middle.

There is a little four block area of blocking terrain.

Yeah, sorry...got the wrong universe...it's the one in the middle. The last question that I really have is where does it says that you can't put figures on terrain that they couldn't get on/off of themselves.

Thanks!!!

The Pond map? Alrighty!

Soon I'll have all those maps scanned in and viewable via the web so that instead of wondering... you can just click on the map and get a ruling as to whether a square is clear or hindering, elevated or grounde, etc....right then and there.

It'll be neat-o!

Maybe one more question...Do you get the hindering terrain modifier for shooting through the water?

Mucho thanks!!!

Well, it doesn't really specifically say anywhere...

the closest is:

Under Blocking terrain...

Like I said, this is being discussed and the clarification for this type of terrain are being finalized as we speak.

Water terrain is considered Hindering for Movement purposes only.
Water terrain is considered clear for Line of Fire purposes only.

Rock N' Roll...that should sum up everything. I've only been around for about a week...but I can say you guys are all awesome...

C-ya...

Viper:D

Hey Tsannik ... I already have all the official maps redrawn on my online gameboard. You might want to just load those one by one and take a screen shot, then you don't need to mess with scanning those big old things ...
