Can an immobilised skimmer Jink?

[Grimnar42]

In the rulebook under skimmers and damage results an immobilised skimmer will blah blah "incapable of any further movement including turning on the spot" now the question is is "jink" a form of movement

Technically no; it's a form of cover save... I have to be honest though; I think it's daft a skimmer can immobilise itself in dodgy terrain at all. I mean; it's a skimmer, not even a hovercraft and when do you hear of them getting immobilised over any kind of terrain?

There's no question in the rules that immobilized skimmers can jink, regardless of whether or not it breaks your suspension of disbelief.

I am trying and failing to find the photos of it, but a test of a hovercraft on a dried salt lake here a few years ago proved one should never underestimate Murphy and the driver's ability to get the thing stuck on the only rock in the entire lake.

Over? Not really. The problem is that Skimmers cannot stay over the terrain and have to come down to "rest" in the terrain.

Ahhh DarkLink, never change.

Its a narrative wargame, decide what narrativly suits the situation, the rules are more like guidelines.

The rules are to creat a story about the fight happening, suspension of disbelief is infinetly more important to the game than any technicalities of the rules.

[DarkLink]

Yeah, but you don't need to ask online what the rules you make up for yourself say.

why the hell would you tell someone to just make up rules in a forum specifically for people to ask how the rules actually work?

If we're making things up I have some excellent suggestions. If we're interpreting the weird and wonderful rules from the actual book then RAW an immobilized skimmer can definitely still jink.
