Mira has Base Movement 10m. On ordinary ground, her Run costs 1 Action Die and gives 2 Zones of movement. She can pay for her attack and remains able to move after its Exchange.

  1. Pay the Run's 1 Action Die once. Cross from the courtyard into the connected hall for 1 Zone of movement, arriving at the agreed entry position.
  2. Move 4m from the hall entry to the agreed position where Mira's sword can reach Rook. That local approach spends 0.4 Zones.
  3. Pay for and resolve the attack separately, including Rook's response and any consequences. An ordinary unboosted arming-sword attack costs 1 Action Die. The attack does not restore Mira's movement.
  4. Mira can still move. She travels 3m to the agreed cover position, spending another 0.3 Zones. Do not pay for the same Run again.
  5. The route spent 1 + 0.4 + 0.3 = 1.7 Zones. Mira has 0.3 Zones left, which is too little for another ordinary Zone crossing.

Result: One Run pays for the whole route. The attack has its own cost. Mira finishes in cover with 0.3 Zones of movement left.

  • The Zone connection and local positions are agreed before movement. Zones are not fixed 10m squares; the sketch is not to scale.
  • A 10m Walk gives only 1 Zone. It could pay for this crossing, but no movement would remain for the approach farther into the hall.
  • The route must be legal. Apply terrain, Conditions, reactions and any risky-manoeuvre procedure when they actually matter.
  • Entering or leaving melee reach alone does not trigger an Opportunity Attack. Successive steps that remain within reach can; clarify those steps before moving.
