Leap

Do you have to move first before you can leap? The rule sounds kind of like it, but we were not exactly sure.

As far as I know, you dont have too move before you leap.

I think this is the point why you are asking this question.

Try to think of moving 0 squares adjacent to the square that they are jumping over...

no you dont have to, you can leap over something the player started his turn adjacent too.

@ Mike

yeah, that was the passage that made it kind of foggy.
Okay, so 3-0 in favour for you don't have to move.

So you two are playing against eachother and are trying to end up your conflicts on this platform!!!

UNGLAUBLICH!!!!

I like it!

(BTW, no you don't have to move, but the others allready told you that!)

@Draco:
Nope, just living in the same country doesn't mean we are playing against each other.

@ Draco

Kiel and Sinsheim are really only 700 kms apart, so getting together for a game in the evening is a bit of a challenge, but would be worth considering this time of the year. It is so darn hot in the south, it might be nice to go to Kiel for a game.

It's me who Arkan plays and sorts out rule questions over here.

Somehow i'm constantly wrong ... must be those damn OLBBL rulings from 5 years ago that are still in my head somewhere.

Never heard of of Sinsheim to be honest. Seeing Tims post it must be near Mannheim then. Couldn't have guessed you didn't live in Kiel cause it's not mentioned and Germany is just a wee bit bigger than Holland!

Have been in Kiel lots of times. Not really a great town for tourist purposes, but I like the Weinachtsmarkt and even have several of the mugs they pour the Gluewein in!!

Since my wife moved in with me, here in Holland (she lived in Kiel in the Jachmanstrasse on the other side of the Kieler Förde, the Laboe side) and my friends from Kiel left to go to Bordesholm and Wilhelmshaven, I don't get there any more. Good for shopping though!

Can you still get BB figs around there or to you have to walk the plank like us and order at GW in Nottingham?

@ Tim. In all fairness, we all weren't sure on this one, so don't worry about that

@ Draco. Sinsheim is about 100 km south east of Mannheim towards Heilbronn in Stuttgart. It's not a big surprise you have not heard of her. I am born in Mannheim, so not a local either, but Sinsheim has a Technik Museum, that is the only one in the world, that will display an actual Concorde and its Russian cousin, the Tupulew. The Concorde arrived a couple weeks ago, and it was a huge media event. But that is really the only thing there ... and my geography of holland is not that strong either, once in a while I have a meeting there or work with colleagues from the Netherlands.

Have fun ...

@Draco: Yep, you can get some starter-packs meanwhile. Put it's not a wide range of BB stuff you get here.
