Pinch Points
Basic Game
Because of the random board set up, sometimes there will be situations where two buildings are adjacent to one another and only touching at corners; this is called a Pinch Point. Pinch Points are covered in the Advanced Game. For now, treat them as any other
adjacent Outdoor Spaces.
Advanced Game
A Pinch Point is where two buildings meet at a diagonal corner. Martians may move diagonally through a Pinch Point with no problem (they are small and the Zard Beast can easily smash his way through walls anyway). Heroes however have a slightly harder time fitting through. If a Hero wants to move through a Pinch Point, they must first pass an Agility Test. If successful, the Hero may move through the Pinch Point without problem and continue on their way. If the test is failed though, the Hero’s move immediately ends in the space before passing through the Pinch Point.

Pinch Points and Agility
Though the LNOE Small Town Heroes do not have an Agility printed on their Character Sheets, the Agility value is simply based on the starting number of Health Boxes (+) that a Hero Character has. For example, Johnny the High School Quarterback has 2 Health Boxes so his Agility value is 2+ whereas Sam the Diner Cook has 4 Health Boxes so his Agility value is 4+. Note that Agility is only really used for moving through Pinch Points and for Dodging Ray Guns.
