Wondering how you guys play In The Way rolls when large monsters are partially obscured by smaller troops, eg a troll, standing behind a goblin.

I have always found it a bit of a iffy subject, when the goblin only comes up to the trolls knee, and the visible area of the troll is still several times the size of another goblin, and yet it still can claim an in the way for the goblin.

I know its RAW, but it feels a bit off...

I guess it may come down to Formal tournie rules, vs Houserules...?

I guess you would just confer with the person your playing with and make a decision on it.

I look at the model's eye view to determine whether or not it is ITW. If the Goblin doesn't obscure the model's torso it's not ITW for myself. RAW is too easily abused in it's current "streamlined" form

My players and I just check the models eye view. If the goblin cant see around the troll at all, then we say there is no line of sight. If there is any doubt or possibility that a line of sight possibly exists, then we call for an in the way shot. Having played rpg's and mini games for nearly 20 years I have adopted the motto of, "When in doubt, roll it out."

The outcome of a single game isn't going to effect my chances of playing again. Odds are, there will always be at least one more game.
