Hello,
Let's assume Jango Fett is strained and attacks an enemy secondary, wounding it. Strained triggers "after the effect is resolved, this Unit suffers 3 damage" (CRB page 35) and I'm Just Looking to Get Paid triggers "after the effect is resolved". Since the triggers are the same timing, can the active player choose to resolve the healing first, removing the strain so that Jango does not take damage from it?
Alternatively, consider the case where Jango uses Not So Fast to wound the enemy. Could he resolve the healing first to remove the strain under those circumstances?
Thanks!

Hello,
Both the Climb and Jump entries on page 27 contain the following line:
QuoteThe movement tool may overlap any Passable terrain parts and any Impassable terrain of any Elevation.
Consider the example scenario of a gantry attached to a building, both of which have been defined as impassable. A character is under the gantry. Since the tool may overlap impassable terrain of any elevation, would it be a legal move to climb or jump "through" the gantry to end on top of the building?
Thanks!

Hello,
A rules snip on page 25 states:
QuoteA character cannot end a movement partially overlapping a terrain part or the battlefield at a different Elevation than they are.
Two questions:
1. Does "at a different elevation than they are" apply to both terrain parts and the battlefield, or just the latter? Stated another way, can you partially overlap a terrain part at the same elevation as you are?
2. When determining if a terrain piece is overlapped, do you look from the top down? In the below picture, if the blue terrain has been defined as one piece, would the character be fully or partially overlapping it?
Thanks!

Hello,
The MagnaGuard "Protection Protocols" allow them to advance toward a chosen character. On page 28 of the rules, after describing how to algin the movement tool, it states:
QuoteThe moving object can’t cross a straight line drawn along either arm of the angled movement tool to the edge of the table.
While advancing the MagnaGuard, could the movement tool go outside of that straight line as long as the MagnaGuard are placed inside of that line? Since they do not move along the tool it would seem they never cross the line, even though the tool does.
Thanks!

Hello,
The second section of Obi-Wan's "Patience" ability states:
QuoteWhen this Unit's Order Card is put in reserve, one character in this Unit may heal (x3) and jump.
Does Obi-Wan have to heal then jump or can he jump then heal if desired?
Same goes for Bo-Katan's "Mandalore Will Survive" ability.
Thanks!

Hello,
Let's say Clone Captain Rex is pinned and uses his active ability "Defensive Maneuver". The pinned condition states:
QuoteThe next time a character in this Unit would advance, dash, climb, or jump, it does not move. Then, this Unit loses the Pinned condition.
And defensive maneuver states:
QuoteEach character in this Unit may dash. If any character dashes, this Unit gains hunker.
Even though he didn't move, due to being pinned, would Rex still count as having dashed for the purposes of gaining hunker?
Thanks!

Hello,
Page 20 of the rulebook states
QuoteAfter a player moves the Struggle token at the end of their Turn, if the Struggle token remains on their opponent’s half of the Struggle Tracker, the active player gains a Momentum token.
Does "after a player moves the struggle token" refer to the token physically moving, or just that step happening? If a player scores no points and doesn't move the struggle token would they gain a momentum (provided the struggle token was on their opponent's side)?
Thanks!

Hello,
Pages 14 and 22 in the CRB state
QuoteA unit may only perform free actions during its Perform Actions step …
However, this is under the heading "Free Card Actions". As such, is the above statement intended to only apply to free card actions?
For example: Darth Vader is in melee with an enemy unit and he takes a standby. The enemy unit withdraws. Darth Vader spends the standby to move back in melee with the enemy. Could he trigger relentless following that move to perform an attack, even though it is not his perform action step.
Thanks!

Hello,
Page 19 of the CRB states "If a unit is not in cohesion for whatever reason, its next action must be a move action that ends with all miniatures in cohesion." However, a unit with the plodding keyword can only take one move action during its activation, so consider the following scenario:
A unit of dark troopers uses their first action to move to a spot where they can't place all minis in legal cohesion, so they put them as close as possible. They are now out of cohesion, but they can't use their next action to move (due to plodding). Therefore, could they use their second action to do something else, such as attack?
Thanks!

Hello,
Immune deflect states (emphasis mine on all quotes below)
QuoteDuring an attack, if the only weapons in the attack pool are weapons with the Immune: Deflect keyword, the attacking unit cannot suffer wounds due to the defending unit using the Ataru Mastery, Deflect, Djem So Mastery, or Soresu Mastery abilities.
Djem So mastery states
QuoteIf the Djem So Mastery keyword is used against an attack that includes a weapon with the Immune: Deflect keyword, it cannot cause wounds to the attacking unit.
Similarly Ataru mastery states
QuoteIf the Ataru Mastery keyword is used against an attack that includes a weapon with the Immune: Deflect keyword, Ataru Mastery cannot cause wounds to the attacking unit.
While the last two statements do not technically contradict the first, is it intended that ataru and djem do not require all weapons to have Immune: Deflect?

Can units move through and end a movement overlapping charge tokens?

Hello,
Weak point X reads
QuoteWhile a unit with the Weak Point X: Front/Rear/Sides keyword is defending, if the attacking unit’s unit leader is partially inside the specified firing arc of the defending unit, the attack pool gains the Impact X keyword where X is equal to the value of Weak Point X
Does a unit leader who is fully (not just partially) inside the specified firing arc gain impact X?

Hello,
Can a unit with jump X jump down a height grater than X? For example, can a jedi with jump 1 jump from a piece of height 2 terrain down to the table surface?

Hello,
The keyword infiltrate states
QuoteDuring the Deploy Units step of Setup, a unit with the Infiltrate keyword may deploy anywhere on the battlefield that is beyond range 3 of each enemy unit.
Can a unit with infiltrate deploy in their own deployment zone as normal, even if they would not be beyond range 3 of each enemy unit?

Hello,
Han Solo's command card Reckless Diversion states
QuoteWhen an enemy unit performs an attack, it must attack a trooper unit that has a faceup order token, if able.
The keyword inconspicuous states
QuoteWhile a unit with the Inconspicuous keyword has at least one suppression token, when an enemy unit performs an attack, it must target another unit, if able.
If R2-D2 has a faceup order token on the Reckless Diversion turn, which effect wins out? Assuming there is not another unit with a faceup order eligible to be attacked.
Switching attack types after Mind Trick

Hello,
When a unit performs an attack during their activation, if Obi-Wan Kenobi, Out of Hiding uses Mind Trick, does the attacker have to perform the same type of attack on the new attack? The Mind Trick ability simply states the character "may make another attack".
For example: Captain Rex is engaged with a wounded ally of Obi-Wan. On his activation, Rex chooses to shoot at Obi, who uses Mind Trick. Even though he was originally doing a ranged attack, could Rex then perform a melee attack against Obi-Wan's wounded ally?
For the above example, would it make any difference if the original attack had to be a specific type? For example, Clone Sergeant Hunter is in a similar situation, but attacks the wounded unit with Striking Distance, which stipulates a melee attack. If Mind Trick is used on that melee attack, could Hunter then perform a ranged attack?
Thanks!
