Ling of Sight for Scouts

[SF-Ken]

I have a question with the Line of Sight for a scout.

I was playing a game earlier this week. (just so happened during a drop too )

Here is what happened. My entrantress paralize 3 Knights in a line (one in the middle was my)

Then their scout on the far side of the line shot my enchantress passing all the knights. does that make sense?


here is what it looks like

0S000
00000
00000
00000
0KKK0
00E00

S= scout, K= knight (All paralized), and E = Enchantress

I don't have 2 computers or else i would try to conform this bug for you.

Not a bug... not a cheat.

Perfectly legal... please go read the MULTIPLE posts on scout Line of sight and trick shots. Just do a search for em...

Well, not with that setup. If the Scout were one space closer, it would work, but as is, the Scout can only barely reach to the Enchantress. The trick shot someone could use would require shooting the space behind the Enchantress.

But yeah, check the Scout LoS thread. It's weird, and there are some shots that you don't expect to work, but they do, by design.

move the scout forward, and one space to the left, and that show will work. Or move the scout one space forward and, aiming at the space behind the enchantress, will hit the enchantress.

I don't find the scout LoS weird at all. It's perfectly intuitive to me, just stop thinking of a unit taking up the entire square that it's on, and more like it's taking up a small circle inside that square. I just eyeball it and i can pull off some pretty fancy trick shots, if i don't say so myself. Aiming behind the target is a great way to make impossible looking shots possible
