Line of Sight Dispute

[jeffd1830]

In my ongoing attempts to understand the full intention behind the rules of this amazing game, I have had a moment of clarity. Jason Hill said middle of square to middle of square does NOT matter. It's the unobstructed shortest walking path.

I give you four examples:



Example A: Hero cannot shoot Zed using red path because a door counts as a wall, and you can't see through a wall when you aren't adjacent to it. Hero cannot shoot Zed using orange path because it is not the shortest path.

Example B: Hero cannot shoot Zed with red path because orange path is shorter. Orange path is obstructed and there is no other path of only 2 spaces to reach the Zombie.

Example C: There are two possible paths from Hero to Zed in only two moves. Since one of them is not obstructed, the Hero can shoot it.

Example D: This one is the one which I think may incite controversy. There are two possible paths from Hero to Zed in two moves. Since they are both equal, and one of them is not obstructed, the Hero can shoot it.

Am I right? Comments? :-)
