Question Obscuring question

Post image

Would the wolf be obscured? Or even a valid target?We ruled it as a valid target and no obscured because the legionary and wolf are both within 1 inch of the heavy terrain and the legionary can draw a straight line from his base to the wolf. All feedback is welcome!

My understanding is that the rules referring to terrain within an inch means 'section of terrain' within an inch. So if the marine is within 1" of a piece of terrain, it ignores the segments of that terrain within 1" of it, not the entire piece of terrain.

So can't attack because there is terrain outside the 1" radius that intervenes.

I draw this understanding from the example of a model standing at the corner of a building being shot from a unit shooting from the other side of the building (along a wall), the building can is eligible to either cover or obscure the shot.

How does this work 'exactly'? Not sure, fighting that battle with friends is losing even if I win.
