[First Player battlefield side choice timing]

Does the First Player choose their battlefield side before or after the terrain is set up?

From the sequence in the rulebook, it seems this happens before the terrain setup, which makes the choice pretty much irrelevant. 

[Deploying at different elevations]

Can a squad deploy onto different elevations, as long as the horizontal distance is within range 1?

[Comms Relay Restriction]

Can vehicles equip Comms Relay?

The restriction „Non-emplacement Trooper only“ could mean „trooper only, but not emplacement trooper“, but can also be read as „everyone except emplacement troopers“.

Thanks

[Contesting multiple objectives]

Thanks!

[Overlapping objective tokens]

Can characters overlap objective tokens?

[Contesting multiple objectives]

Can a character contest more than one objective simultaneously, given that it is within range 2 of all of them?

[Objective control at different elevations]

Thank you!

[Objective control at different elevations]

An objective token is elevated range 1.5 from the ground, while a nearby platform is elevated another range 1.5 above it. 

One character from each player is contesting the objective, one at the ground, one on top of the second platform.

Do they both count as being on the same elevation as the objective token, as they are both within range 2 elevation of the token? Even though the two characters are not on the same elevation? 

[LOS and buildings]

Thanks. The horizontal/vertical measurement is something I understand (playing Legion as my main game), but I struggle with accepting that those two miniatures have LOS to each other.

But I‘ll get used to it eventually 🙂 
 

 

[Objective Token Stopping Push/Pull]

Is it correct that objective tokens stop pushes and pulls, as tokens are objects?

[LOS and buildings]

We have a character on top of a tall building and another one at the very bottom. They are at range 5 from each other. Drawing a line from either base to any part of the other character always crosses through the building.

However, if I understand the LOS rules correctly, both characters have LOS to each other. Is that correct?

[Advances over gaps]

Is it possible for a character to advance across a gap, assuming it finishes the movement on the same height (or lower)?

In other words, can characters leap as part of an advance, or do they have to climb in that case?

[501. Legion Skirmish Support Rank]

The 501 Battleforce states for Skirmish Ranks:

Quote

Support: Each army may include up to one to two support units.

What is the correct number? 0-2, 1-2, something else?

 

Thanks!

[Immobilized Vehicle - Field Triage and Combined Arms]

Can the abilities Field Triage (Rebels) and Combined Arms (Empire) be used on the Immobilized Vehicles themselves?

[Suppression and Cover]

Is the cover of non-droid troopers still increased by one when they have a Suppression token, or is this effect of Suppression also ignored in Special Operations games?

Rallying, Suppression, and Panic

At the start of a unit’s activation, it rallies like normal, but suppression and panic do not function like standard Star Wars: Legion.

 

[Empire Covert Deploy]

Quote

 

Covert Deploy

Some loadouts allow certain units in a squad to Covert Deploy. Units that can Covert Deploy each have a specific Condition token listed on their unit card.

 

The ISF Loadout Card Ambush allows for Covert Deploy, but the ISF Units habe no condition token listed. Which rule takes precedence here?

 

Thanks!

[Disarray and Scout]

Disarray requires each player to deploy one unit in each deployment area.

Is that requirement still satisfied if the only deployed unit then uses Scout to move out before the game begins?

[Compel, Dauntless and Panic]

What is the exact timing of Compel and Dauntless with regards to the Panic check?

• If a unit begins its Perform Actions step while panicked, it cannot perform any actions or free actions
• After another trooper unit at range 1–2 of a friendly unit with the Compel keyword performs its Rally step and is suppressed but not panicked, at the beginning of its Perform Action step, it may gain one suppression token to perform a free move action.
• After a unit with the Dauntless keyword performs its Rally step and is suppressed but not panicked, it may gain one suppression token to perform a free move action.

It sounds to me that the effect of Dauntless occurs before the Perform Actions step, so it is possible to panic the unit (and loosing all actions) by using the free move.

However, Compel has both triggers at the beginning of the Perform Action step. As the active player, I can choose the sequence so that I don‘t loose my action(s) to becoming panicked by Compel.

Is this correct?
