Ork Assault (Game 1) - Turn 1

Ah... you actually can't charge over the sandbags or concrete walls... you can only go around.
Since those two Heavy Bolter guardsman are insulated where they are.. you won't be able to charge them... you'll have to instead shoot them, rokkit pack into them, grenade them or psychic attack them.

Diagonal close combat is allowed... it just hasn't come up before. You can't move diagonally, but you can shoot and be in close combat diagonally. You can't charge diagonally. Except, though, when a wall is in the way.

The Painboy for example, could charge the wall... destroy it and then be in close combat next turn.

I think my "teleport one of them to us" plan would work nicely then, if they themselves CAN'T get out we just need to be just outside range :)

Alright! Haha, there goes my plan of teleporting myself into close combat with them! I guess my kustom blaster will have to do it.

But in the painboy example wouldn't be first punch the wall, then spend a turn getting shot at, before he'd be able to close the distance to get into close combat?

I mean... the kustom blaster is pretty mad guns. You could teleport within range and possibly take them both out without too much trouble.. unless you roll averagely. Okay, it might be big trouble if you didn't get them both.

You're right if the Painboy was busting through a brick wall... but since the sandbag wall doesn't take a square to itself.... if the Painboy does bust through, then he's in close combat with one of them because they're adjacent... and while there is still a sandbag wall inbetween him and the other Heavy Bolter, they can't shoot into close combat nor charge him cos the wall is in the way. Tricky, hey.

What a learning curve this game is! We just fumble in the dark for a while while learning all the rules and tricks.

I posit that we wait till I can see one of them (while staying out or range) then teleport him somewhere FAR, FAR AWAY from us, so we can kill them one by one XD

That or teleport a meatbad right in front of both of them, so they'll be occupied ;)

Sure! That sounds good.
