Stoopid Throwing Question

Post by Buggrit »

When throwing the ball the way that we've been playing the game in our league is that you need a square of movement in order to do so because it's an action. However we've been looking at the throwing rules and it seems that we could be playing erroniously (although we're all using the same rules for this, so if we're playing wrong at least we're ALL playing wrong, lol) as there is no mention of needing a square of movement for the pass in the rules.

So, stoopid question, declaring a pass, move (or not) and then throw. Can you move your full movement and then throw the ball without needing to GFI (as throwing doesn't require any movement to do like a block does during a blitz)?

Otherwise Orcs would never have Throwers.

I think I know where this misunderstanding arises from. Only the Blitz Action costs one square of movement, otherwise you would be able to move your MA+1 while blitzing.

Every other action doesn't need this special rule, so they don't cost any squares of movement.
