From my Q&A
Q: May I premeasure the range of a pass with the range ruler at any point during my turn or only when taking a Pass Action?
A: Strict reading only when taking a Pass Action but nothing stops you from memorising passing ranges in squares and counting squares so it has no point keeping it up.

Re: Passing without the ball
This is my interpretation, up to the word "squares." I'd posit that your opponent need not accept any calculation that doesn't include the ruler, so if you want to be absolutely certain you must declare a Pass.slup wrote:From my Q&A

Re: Passing without the ball
How would you stop me counting squares as i do many times as part of a turn too see how far i can move with different players for both this and the following turn?mattgslater wrote:This is my interpretation, up to the word "squares."

You have to do everything except a passing action with your eyes closed

Re: Passing without the ball
wait a minute
who said we had to count squares when doing everything else. Aren't we suppose to just pick our models up and set them down where we want them?

Re: Passing without the ball
Go ahead and count squares. There's no reason to play dumb. It's just not okay to bust out the official template and measure unless/until you declare a Pass action. Just one more little thing that may or may not go wrong.
