Terrain placement restriction.

[exeteroborach]

Hey all
F
Got another question.
Had some friends tell me that there is a mandatory minimum distance between terrain pieces (buildings, obstacles, craters) when placing next to each other and near the board edge? I understand you want to leave enough room for big models to move through and have room for deployment. But is there now an official rule in the CA book or FAQ or somewhere? Or is it just like ITC guidlines?

That's not a rule (though there is general allusions to it in trying to make a balanced map like "There is also sufficient room for large units, such as tanks, to manoeuvre around the terrain features (especially near the edges) without getting trapped. "). The closest is that forts cannot be deployed within 3" of terrain. Player placed terrain tournaments may have a rule like that, but most just have specified terrain layouts.
