Requirements

Players will check the Requirements of this Skill when declaring it.

• The Trooper’s MOV value must be sufficient to reach a landing spot, and the landing spot must be equal or larger than the Trooper's base.

Effects

• Allows the user to move horizontally (to clear a gap), vertically (to reach a higher or lower surface), diagonally or tracing a parabola, up to his first MOV Attribute value in inches.
• Jump is a Common Skill that does not require a Roll.
• When Jumping, measure the horizontal, vertical, diagonal or parabolic distance between the starting location and the landing spot, measuring from the base’s outer edge and underside.
• Troopers cannot benefit from Partial Cover MODs during an Order in which they declared Jump.
• Jumping movement must follow the General Movement Rules as well as the Moving and Measuring rules.

Sibylla's Advice

Measuring parabolas: the easiest way to measure a parabolic route is using a flexible tape measure, bending it for convenience.

Example 1

NOTE

During his Active Turn, Fusilier Angus has to clear a 1.75 inch high obstacle. As this is a height greater than his Silhouette template, Angus has to declare Jump to be able to clear it.

Example 2

NOTE

During his Active Turn,Fusilier Angus decides to get down from the roof of a building as fast as possible, by jumping down. He declares Jump and measures the height of the building, which is 5 inches. However, Angus’ first MOV value is 4 inches and he must choose a landing spot that he can reach. As he cannot Jump to a new location safely, he performs an Idle instead.

Example 3

NOTE

During his Active Turn, Fusilier Angus declares he is going to Jump from one roof to another. The player measures the distance and checks that it corresponds with Angus’ first MOV value, and that the landing spot is larger than his base, so he can choose the spot as the final location of his movement.

If the distance is bigger than his first MOV value, or if his base cannot be placed on the landing spot, then Angus cannot Jump to that spot. He must choose a new landing spot he can reach and safely land on, or he performs an Idle instead.
