Bombarding through a gap
Ruling issued on November 21th 2024
Situation:
Using the Terran ship Scout, I attack an opponent. In front of my Scout is an enemy ship, with no structure behind it. When my Scout attacks, its Bombard ability activates. Does it hit the opponent's base?
Ruling:
Yes. Bombard affects the next structure or base in a straight line ahead of the attacking ship. If no structure is present, the enemy base loses durability.
