Hi,
In a game I played recently I wanted to check LOS to an Eldar Falcon from a spot on the board before I moved my Carnifex to that location. I have read it in a few places that this is a good way to avoid conflicts; to measure Line-Of-Sight a little now and then and also asking the opponent if he/she agrees that this or this is a valid LOS. However, my fellow Eldar player didnt agree, his opinion was that you are only allowed to check LOS after picking a target in the shooting phase, much like when you are allowed to measure the distance. I didnt argue, and we continued to play.
The way we normally do is that you are allowed to LOOK for LOS but not allowed to MEASURE the LOS until the actual shooting. It speeds the game up and I guess its an ok way to play it but I would like to try how a game goes when you are allowed to measure LOS all the time.
How do you guys play? Has anyone found a rule in favor or against the "measure LOS all the time"-practice?
