Sibylla's Advice

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

Before the game begins, it is a good idea for both players to agree on which surfaces on the game table will require the use of the Jump Skill, taking into account potentially dubious cases.


SEE ALSO

Super-Jump

  • With this Special Skill, the Jump Long Skill is turned into a Basic Short Skill, if declared as the first Basic Short Skill of the Order.
  • The Super-Jump Special Skill allows its user to perform other Basic Short Skills or Short Skills while performing a Jump (for example: Jump + BS Attack) (see Trooper Activation).

Troopers mounted on Motorcycles cannot go Prone, declare Cautious Movement, Climb, use ladders, or perform an upwards Jump.


Examples

Example 1

eng-jump-example-1.jpg

In their Active Turn, a Trooper has to clear a 1.75-inch-high obstacle. As this is higher than their Silhouette Template, the Trooper must declare Jump to be able to clear it.


Example 2

eng-jump-example-2v2.jpg

In his Active Turn, the Trooper 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 10 inches. However, the Trooper can only Jump up to 6 inches. As the distance is more than 6 inches, he cannot make this Jump and, as there is no safe alternative landing spot, he performs an Idle instead.


Example 3

eng-jump-example-3v2.jpg

In his Active Turn, the Trooper declares he is going to Jump from one roof to another. The player measures the distance and checks that it falls within the Jump distance of 6 inches, and that the landing spot is at least as large as his base, so he can choose the spot as the final location of his movement.

If the distance is too far, or the Model’s base cannot be placed on the landing spot, then the Trooper cannot Jump to that spot. He must choose a new landing spot he can reach safely and land on, or he performs an Idle instead and remains in place.


Example 4

eng-jump-example-4v2.jpg

When jumping, the Trooper must follow a trajectory without changing heading. Therefore, they cannot change their trajectory in mid-air, and can only return to their starting point if they jumped directly up and down.
