soooo if I put up a barrier like this:
Key:
X= Barrier
o=Open space
F=any character


oXo
XFX
oXo

if an opponent is in the o space can they close combat/ranged combat F? would the diagonal line between X's make close combat not work?

where is that darn canadian...

I'm an Oklahoman... does that count?

No figure in your "o" spaces can make an attack on figure F until the Barrier comes down. Of course, you should put up the Barrier like you have it, place characters in the "o" squares, then on your next turn when the Barrier drops, make your close combat attacks, then put up the Barrier again!

they cant make ne attack against u

woo.. thanks guys! I'm looking forward to playing this strategy now!
