MOVING INFANTRY UNITS - DOUBTS (GOOD FOR ENGLISH AND ITALIAN MANUALS I HAVE)
MOVING INFANTRY UNITS - DOUBTS (GOOD FOR ENGLISH AND ITALIAN MANUALS I HAVE) Posted on [02/02/2023] à 16:34

I own the rulebook "COMPENDIUM" (in English) and the rulebook of Black Reach (in Italian)… And a doubt about the "moving infantries" chapter arose, because, while re-reading it (in order to solve another doubt, in addiction!!!) I found two contraddictory phrases:


COMPENDIUM – PAGE 10 – MOVING INFANTRY SMALL CHAPTER READS AS FOLLOWS:


"An infantry unit MAY NOT MOVE THROUGH enemy infantry units or any vehicle, whether ALLIED or ENEMY".

"Infantry units -(IT CONTINUES)- MAY MOVE THROUGH "ALLIED" INFANTRY UNITS as long as they do not share the same square at the end of the movement action"


The doubts arised properly about those two contraddictory phrases written above…


May someone tell me, then, if they can or cannot move through other units (troops or tanks; allied or not) ?!? A phrase of the rulebooks says a thing, the phrase which follows the first one, says the complete contrary!!! It is misleading or confusing at the best, so to speak…


Ps: I' m used to consider allied units "bypassable", and enemy units not.

I found two contradictory phrases:


COMPENDIUM – PAGE 10 – MOVING INFANTRY SMALL CHAPTER READS AS FOLLOWS:


"An infantry unit MAY NOT MOVE THROUGH enemy infantry units or any vehicle, whether ALLIED or ENEMY".

"Infantry units -(IT CONTINUES)- MAY MOVE THROUGH "ALLIED" INFANTRY UNITS as long as they do not share the same square at the end of the movement action"


They are not contradictory.


An infantry unit may not move through

enemy infantry units

or

vehicles, whether allied or enemy


What helps differentiate the clauses is the fact that infantry units were specifically limited to enemy units, so the clause about vehicles addresses both friendly and enemy vehicles.

The wording in BRO was clarified a bit.


An Infantry Unit cannot move through enemy Infantry Units, or through friendly or enemy vehicles. Infantry Units may move through "allied" Infantry Units as long as they do not share the same square at the end of the Movement Action.
