Obscuring terrain

[Rogue]

This is more of a confirmation ask, but...

 

With obscuring terrain, you can fire into it, and out of it, but not through it.

 

So if I have a unit in obscuring terrain, and they have line of sight to an enemy unit in an adjacent piece of obscuring terrain, these two units can still fire at each other, right? Because my unit is able to fire out of the terrain they are in, and the enemy unit can be targeted because they're inside obscuring terrain (rather than beyond it).

 

Although two pieces of obscuring terrain are involved, no shooting is going entirely across either, so shooting isn't blocked.

 

if anyone can suggest why that's not the way to play it, please do.

I believe that's how it would work. Makes sense for units to be exchanging fire from different buildings.

Yes, that's exactly how it works.

 

It came up in a game on Saturday. My opponent's Raven Guard couldn't fire at my second squad of Assault Intercessors who were in the back because of the Obscuring rule, but they could have fired on the front squad because they were in a building.

 

Sadly (for him), there was ANOTHER Obscuring ruin in the way :lol:

Thanks chaps.

 

(I like the new obscuring rules - three large ruins create some really interesting fire lanes and dead ground for some tactical play.)
