Movement exception modifier to sighting task check

[Simon62]

Hi

the following came up in our game this afternoon:

A offboard observer is making a sighting task check to place an AR in the Dfph, the unit it is sighting moved in the previous movement phase and moved 1 hex from outside to inside a building.
On the sighting task check there is a + 1 modifier if "the target has entered a new hex/used VBM/been in motion during this player turn" this is further caveated with "dashing or movement totally inside a building /trench/pillbox is not applicable"

Does this apply to the sighting task check or not - the unit only spent movement points in the building but it moved from outside to inside the building - we are not sure if this is counted as totally inside the building or not or whether this only applied if the unit starts in a building, moves within that building and finishes it's movement in a building.

Also does the building have to be a multi hex building - what if it moves from one building hex to a second building hex?

It didn't actually matter to the sighting TC rolled as the unit was sighted regardless of this modifier but would like to get an answer

Regards

Simon

Does an offboard observer make a sighting TC ?

I'm assuming you mean E7.6 Aerial Observation

Does this apply to the sighting task check or not - the unit only spent movement points in the building but it moved from outside to inside the building - we are not sure if this is counted as totally inside the building or not or whether this only applied if the unit starts in a building, moves within that building and finishes it's movement in a building.

I think it applies because part of the movement was outside the building. An enemy could have attacked with a Snap Shot as the unit crossed the hexside of the building hex.

Also does the building have to be a multi hex building - what if it moves from one building hex to a second building hex?

I think it applies here too. The movement wasn't entirely within a building, even if the unit was moving from one arm of a V-shaped building to the other.
