Terrain & Movement

Rulebook

Impassable terrain is terrain so difficult to move through that it cannot be crossed during the course of a battle. Units must go around impassable terrain.

Impassable terrain is any terrain that completely blocks movement. This includes rock spires, deep rivers, sheer cliffs and most buildings, as well as high linear obstacles such as castle walls and fortifications. Impassable terrain cannot be crossed during the course of a battle – units must go around it. In addition, if it is not possible to align a charging unit to the enemy unit due to the presence of impassable terrain, the charging unit has made a disordered charge.

This section begins with the rules for basic movement and manoeuvre, before delving into the intricacies of charging and fleeing. Finally, you will find an explanation of how different types of battlefield terrain can hinder, or even halt, movement.
