[Joint Effort and Attacks that target multiple characters]

15 minutes ago, Negoldar said:

It applies to all attacks made within the beam or area attack so long as the conditions are met for each target.

@Matthews1802 and @Lucas Blackstone I believe this covers your questions as well. 

There will be updated and clarified wording for the Joint Effort Team Tactic Card in the next Errata document. 

[Standard Moves]

Yes, you are correct. 

[Repulsor Vehicle Cohesion]

Yes, the speeder bikes in the picture are in cohesion. Since the base is a part of the miniature (even if it is not part of the silhouette) Speeder bike 2 is indeed within a vertical distance equal to the height of the unit leader's silhouette. 

[What is withdraw?]

Hello-

Withdraw is not an action. An engaged unit may withdraw by spend all of its available actions, which then allows it to perform a speed-1 move action, ignoring any units it is in melee with.

You cannot compel/pull the strings/guidance a withdraw.

[Vehicles obscured by multiple pieces of terrain]

3 hours ago, CODADsunshine said:

Can multiple pieces of terrain be used to obscure 50% of the vehicle’s silhouette or does a single piece of terrain need to obscure 50% of the vehicle’s silhouette?

Multiple pieces of terrain can be used to obscure 50% of the vehicle's silhouette. The vehicle in your example would indeed have cover. 

[Gunslinger and Multiple Ranged Weapons]

Yes, that is correct. 

[Imperial Remnant and command and courage upgrade cards]

Hello- 

Commanding Presence does not remove the restriction imposed by the Imperial Remnant Battleforce. A commander unit may still only issue orders at range 1-2, even if they have selected the Commanding Presence upgrade- the upgrade essentially has no effect. 

Inspiring Presence functions as written on the card. Since the card specifies that the increased range from the upgrade can be reduced by other effects, the upgrade does not remove the restriction imposed by the Battleforce, so units may only use the courage value of a commander unit at range 1-2. The upgrade essentially has no effect.

War Weary functions as written on the card. Since the card reduces the range that units may use a commander unit's courage value by 2 to a minimum of 1, units in an Imperial Remnant Battleforce would only be able to use the courage value of a friendly commander unit at range 1 when the War Weary card is in play. 

[Inspiring Presence and Self Preservation]

Can a unit with self preservation use the courage of a Commander with a different affiliation who has Inspiring Presence equipped?

The rules state that "cannot" overrides "can", but they also say that special rules take precedence over core rules.

No, they cannot. 

[Does Golden Rule of Terrain: Single Piece of Terrain Simultaneously Having Different Characteristics for Different Unit Types?]

On 1/20/2023 at 8:01 AM, JhayRhod said:

Hello, 

I have a follow up to this post regarding the Golden Rule of Terrain: 

Per the Golden Rule of Terrain, would players also be able to agree that a single piece of terrain has different characteristics (i.e. cover type - light, heavy, none; terrain type - scatter, area, obstacle; movement type - open, difficult, impassable) depending on the type of miniature/unit that is interacting with it?  For example, under the Golden Rule of Terrain, could players agree that a piece of terrain is area terrain, light cover, and difficult with respect to a small based trooper unit while that same piece of terrain provides no cover or affect on movement for a heavy unit, like a ground vehicle?

Thank you for your time!

Yes, that is correct. The key part of the Golden Rule of Terrain is that both players agree on what rules the terrain has.

[Arsenal X with more weapons than Arsenal]

Hello! The entry for Arsenal X should read:

"When choosing weapons during the Form Attack Pool step, each miniature in the unit that has the Arsenal X keyword can contribute X weapons to attack pools. Each weapon or combination of weapons may form a new attack pool, but each weapon may only be added to one attack pool."

This will be fixed in an update coming very soon!

[Can Yoda no longer share standbys with his 3 pip?]

That is correct.

[Golden Rule of Terrain]

10 hours ago, JhayRhod said:

Does the golden rule allow players the flexibility to break down single terrain pieces into subparts when it comes to terrain type and cover as well?

Yes. Always discuss terrain with your opponent before the game, as ultimately it is up to you, the players, to decide what rules your terrain has.

[Weak Point X and "partially inside"]

A unit leader who is fully inside the firing arc is indeed at least partially in the firing arc, yes.

[Climbing & Overhanging Obstacle Terrain]

14 minutes ago, JhayRhod said:

1) In stating that the movement tool cannot overlap an obstacle terrain "feature" that is taller than the moving miniature’s silhouette, is "feature" just referring to the portion of the obstacle terrain that is directly underneath/touching the movement tool or is it referring to the entirety of the obstacle terrain piece that the movement tool is overlapping? 

The height of the feature that you are trying to climb on. Remember some pieces of terrain can be made up of multiple parts/heights.

 

15 minutes ago, JhayRhod said:

2) To determine whether the movement tool would be "overlapping" a piece of obstacle terrain that is taller than the unit's silhouette, up to height 1 (and the place from/over which we would have to, or could, perform a climb with the speed-1 tool), do we look at the obstacle terrain from a top-down, 2D perspective, or do we proceed along the movement tool, placed flat on the battlefield, until the movement tool begins to cross the actual footprint of the obstacle terrain and start the speed-1 climb from there?

The former. 

 

16 minutes ago, JhayRhod said:

3) If the overlap is determined from a top-down, 2D perspective, a non-notched base trooper could perform a climb onto, or off, of obstacle terrain that is higher than the trooper unit's silhouette, up to height 1, like the middle of a suspended bridge or the edge of an elevated platform, regardless of whether the obstacle terrain feature is actually touching the battlefield at the point which the speed-1 tool crosses from the battlefield to the obstacle terrain (or vice versa) during the climb, correct? 

Correct.

 

16 minutes ago, JhayRhod said:

4) If the overlap is determined from the point where the movement tool would begin to cross the actual footprint of the obstacle terrain on the battlefield, would a non-notched based trooper be able to perform a climb onto obstacle terrain that would also require moving through an overhang directly above the trooper? Is so, would the trooper be able to be placed anywhere within speed-1 from that point on top of the elevated terrain?  I believe there was something similar with Jump X and jumping through ceilings/roofs in the archived forums. 

I'm not sure I 100% follow, but yes, you can climb through the "ceiling" or floor of a terrain feature, unless you and your opponent decide that it is impassable.

5) If the overlap is determined from the point where the movement tool would begin to cross the actual footprint of the obstacle terrain on the battlefield and the trooper cannot climb up through an overhang directly above the trooper, that would mean a non-notched base trooper would need something like a ladder to be able to access the overhanging obstacle terrain like a ladder or similar, correct? 

I believe the answer to the previous question answers this.

[Units with infiltrate deploying in their own deployment zone]

1 hour ago, zeusjus said:

Hello,

The keyword infiltrate states

 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?

Yes, infiltrate is optional. A unit may always deploy normally. 

[Ground Vehicle unit blocks LOS for other minis in the unit]

Hello-

Ground vehicles do not give cover to themselves. This will be made more clear in the future.

[Spending dodge token]

Hello-

Yes, you can spend dodge tokens even if there are no hits to cancel. This will be made more clear in the future. 

[Detonate and LOS]

Hello- LOS should be drawn from the defender to the token. This will be made more clear in the future. 

[Can Low profile block crits?]

14 hours ago, JLutovsky said:

the "one additional result" does not specify that the result must be a hit result. 

Is this intended to let Low Profile cancel a crit? 

No, this will be made clear in the future. Low Profile only cancels an additional hit result. 

[Non-Standard Moves]

Hello!

Miniatures now typically move in two ways- standard moves, or climbs. Pg. 25: "Some abilities provide standard moves, often of certain speeds. A move provided by an ability is not a move action unless specifically stated." The bolded part is relavent because many abilities (Steady, Relentless, Tactical) have been re-worded to specify exactly when a unit may trigger ability (standard move, standard move as part of a move action, etc)

As for pivots, reverses, etc, the rules state that these movements can be done instead of another movement: For example, Pivot, Pg. 35 "When a unit that can pivot performs a move action, it may choose to pivot instead of performing another movement." These are not standard moves.

[Assigning wounds with blocked line of sight]

10 minutes ago, Quill said:

If during a ranged attack, the defending unit leader is the only visible mini, is the that mini assigned the wounds and removed or would the wounds be assigned to a mini that the attacking unit does not have line of sight to?

The defending player chooses where to assign wounds. In the situation you described, the defender would have to assign any wounds to other miniatures not in LOS, since a unit leader may not be assigned wounds unless it is the last miniature in a unit. 

Remember: "When a unit suffers wounds from an attack, if the attacker has LOS to only some of the miniatures in the defending unit, the defending unit cannot suffer wounds greater than the total wound threshold of miniatures that are in LOS." So if the unit leader is the only visible miniature and has a wound threshold of 1, the unit only suffers 1 wound which must be assigned to another miniature in the unit, even if it is not in LOS (since leaders may not be assigned wounds unless they are the only miniature in the unit)

[Scale - Climb]

Units with Scale do not reduce their speed when moving through difficult terrain. 

They may also climb terrain that is up to height 2. They still move Speed 1 during this climb.

[Arsenal x and Fire support]

Hello!

No, since Arsenal X defines when it may be used (Choose Weapons and Gather Dice step) a unit with the Arsenal X keyword may not add extra weapons to an attack pool using the Fire Support keyword. Just one!

[Creature troopers - Relentless and Withdraw]

Hello!

The "before" here is referring to pivots granted by the Reposition keyword. Since Relentless triggers after a move, the creature trooper must first complete the withdraw move before performing any free attack action granted by the Relentless keyword.
