My son and I ran into a situation when I was trying to open a door. When i drew LOS I could see the bottom corner of the inside of the door. The other side of the door was running along the grid line. My son said I had to draw LOS to the door along the grid line which prevented me from seeing it. Crazy we have been playing for 8 years and never had this situation.

asteriod base all doors have blue boxes which to me indicate they have thickness, or they would have drew a blue line right were the door and gridline would be.

Ahh, I see. All the working doors have little blue boxes to indiate that they are doors. Your son is correct.

Also, on some maps there are doors that do not follow gridlines, indicating that whatever side of the door you are on you would draw los to that side of the door. So ALL DOORS DO HAVE THICKNESS?

Desert Sanctum has big, curved, blue doors. If you look really close you can see alonge the grid-lines the blue boxes that indicate the door actually follows those lines. Maybe there are blue boxes on the doors you are describing that follow the grid?

From the rulebook:(page 30)

"Doors can open and close during the course of a skirmish. An edge that’s a door has a series of blue
rectangles along it."

So it's the edge not the blue rectangles that is the door proper.

The blue rectangles are just a colorful code to show it's a door. You must use the grid-lines.

Doors do not have thickness.


You have to be clever on some maps because there are places the gridlines don't show due to artwork (the hardboard map from the RotS starter is especially bad with this). You just have to follow the lines from where they are the actual gridlines.

Also on Cargo Docks as well, just ask Jake from our 2012 MI Regional classic.

Lol, except if memory serves that had nothing to do with door thickness, that had to do with identifying a door in the first place.
