Units and ruins

[snapplekid50]

Hi all, just to check on some rules.
1) can walkers and artillery be deployed in ruins from the first floor upwards?
2) can walkers and artillery move on the floors of the ruin?
3) walkers would need to make a dangerous terrain test if they move through difficult terrain yes?

Just some basic questions that I would like to know.
Thanks for your help

1&2: No for Artillery. Maybe for Walkers, depending on the Ruin Model and you and your Opponent's opinion. See Pg. 98 & 121.

3: No. Walkers treat Difficult Terrain exactly the same as Infantry. Pg. 84.

Page 121 says that units may not deploy in impassible terrain.
A unit can only move on the upper floors if its type is listed on page 98, but it does not say that the terrain is "impassible" to other unit types.

So I think that you could deploy Artillery in the upper floors, so long as they fit and can be placed in coherency, you just can't ever move them after you put them there.

And by moving that also means pivoting them, unless of course they have a base that allows the gun to rotate like a turret mounted weapon.

I'd really rather just not bother than get in fights about whether or not there's a difference between Terrain that can not be moved through and Impassable Terrain.

Westrider's Razor: When in doubt, go with the option that'll be easier on your blood pressure

While I see the argument, I think it is too fine of a line to distinguish between can't move but can deploy.

The arty gun is infantry, not a vehicle. It does not need to pivot.
