[Whistling birds melee]

Hello,

Yes. "Whistling Birds" is not an attack, and can therefore be used against units in melee with Din.

TP

[Promoted Dark Troopers and Programmed Loyalty]

Hello, 

Retinue states “At the start of the Activation Phase, if a unit with the Retinue keyword is at range 1–2 of another friendly unit or type of unit specified by the Retinue keyword, it gains either one aim or one dodge token.”

Therefore, Programmed Loyalty will not trigger on a promoted Dark Trooper unit, but will work on other friendly Dark Trooper units if another is promoted. 
 

TP

[Force Push and Cohesion]

Hello,

1 hour ago, igleut said:

When a player uses force push on an enemy unit, do they control the cohesion of the force pushed unit?

Cohesion is part of a move - so the player moving the unit leader would also place other miniatures in the unit in cohesion as normal.

and then go into melee with the recohered non-unit leader mini(s)

No. A unit leader needs to move into base to base contact with an enemy miniature to start a melee engagement. Cohering a miniature cannot start an engagement. 

TP

[Phase I clone captain recover action]

Hello,

The upgrade card states that you cannot lose suppression tokens, therefore a Recover action would not be able to remove suppression. 

TP

[Multiple Unit Melee and Disengage]

Hello, 

5 hours ago, Georshanwang said:

Is Grievous now engaged with both Obi-Wan and Anakin?

Yes. Anakin has made base to base contact with another trooper unit, so they are considered to be engaged. 
 

5 hours ago, Georshanwang said:

If on the next turn I use Grievous 1 pip, am I able to use the Disengage keyword

No, as you are engaged with more than one trooper unit. 
 

TP

[Restoring defeated heavies and cycle/ewoks]

Hello, 

On 3/31/2024 at 1:04 PM, BobtheSwift said:

Is this still the case if the heavy had the "cycle" keyword and the unit had completed an activation before having the heavy restored, thus fulfilling the requirement for cycle to ready the heavy?

The upgrade card would still be exhausted in this case. "When a miniature added by an Upgrade Card is defeated, the unit it was added to can no longer use or benefit from any rules on the Upgrade Card, (...)"

On 3/31/2024 at 1:04 PM, BobtheSwift said:

With this same line of thought, is a defeated heavy still eligible to have its card removed by ewoks "insatiable curiosity"?

A defeated heavy's Upgrade Card would be able to be removed by “Insatiable Curiosity”. 
 

TP

[Experimental droids surge tokens “at range 3”]

Hello,

 If only a single number is shown, then that is the maximum range for that effect. Additionally, an object is "at" a range of another object if any portion of it is inside that range as measured by the range tool. 

Hope that helps! 

TP

[Clone commandos/priority mission tokens]

 Hello,

Complete The Mission states:

"During Setup, for each friendly unit with the Complete the Mission keyword, place a friendly priority mission token on the battlefield not within any deployment zone."

On 4/1/2024 at 3:35 PM, Obi10 said:

1) If I am running 3 units of clone commandos, do they all deploy 1 priority mission token each maxing out at 3?

Yes. A priority mission token is placed for EACH friendly Clone Commando unit in your list. 

On 4/1/2024 at 3:35 PM, Obi10 said:

2) If a enemy unit is in range 1 of 3 priority mission tokens then do the critical 2 keywords stack? 

No. A Clone Commando unit gains Critical 2 for being at range of "a" priority mission token. Being in range of multiple tokens will not generate additional benefits. 

On 4/1/2024 at 3:35 PM, Obi10 said:

3) Can clone commandos use each others priority mission tokens?

Yes. The tokens are not unique, so any friendly Clone Commando units will benefit from friendly priority mission tokens.

On 4/1/2024 at 3:35 PM, Obi10 said:

Do friendly and enemy clone commandos units benefit from each others priority mission tokens?

No. As per the Complete The Mission entry, you only gain the positive/negative effects from being at range of a FRIENDLY priority mission token. An enemy Clone Commando unit will therefore not gain the benefits of being at range 1 of a friendly priority mission token. 

Hope that helps! 

TP

[Observe another unit in Melee/Engaged]

Hello,

The Observation Token entry states: 

"As a card action or free card action, a unit with the Observe X keyword can choose an enemy unit at range 1–3 and in LOS."

Therefore, Cody would be able to use the Observe X action on an enemy unit in range that was engaged with another trooper unit. 

Hope that helps! 

TP

[Orbital strike]

Hello,
 

A Geonosian commander (such as Poggle the Lesser) can play Orbital Strke, but will not be able to use the attack listed on the card. 
 

TP

[Multiple teamwork]

Hello, 

On 2/28/2024 at 2:50 AM, Mirmicron said:

By first action jyn perform quick thinking and kassian get 1 aim and 1 dodge tokens. 

Question: if i have K2-SO will it get tokens or not?

Yes, K2SO would gain an aim and a dodge in this case. 

On 2/28/2024 at 2:50 AM, Mirmicron said:

If i issue order to K2-SO and it gains tokens from teamwork will it continue sharing to kassian?

If K2SO is ordered and gains an aim or dodge token, Cassian Andor will gain a like token, and Jyn would gain a similar token. 
 

TP

[Fight another day and Long-Range Comlink]

Hello, 

“Cannot” overrides “Can”, so Gar Saxon would not be able to issue orders beyond range 2, even if another friendly unit was equipped with Long Range Comlink. 
 

TP

["Hello there!" & transported units]

Hello, 

Yes. Transported units count for the effect of “Hello there!”. 

Hope that helps! 

TP

[Agile/ Tactical and Standby Timing]

Hello, 

The unit would gain its token(s) from triggering Agile / Tactical before an enemy unit could spend a standby token. 
 

TP

[Speeders and cover1 vs terrain cover]

Hello, 

Cover X improves the value of the defenders cover by that amount. So a speeder obscured by terrain granting it light cover would have heavy cover. 
 

TP

[Guardian and impervious]

Hello, 

Yes - the defending unit still utilizes Impervious, as it is defending against a weapon that has the Pierce keyword. 
 

TP

[Can a unit with AI choose to perform zero actions?]

Hello, 

No. They must perform the listed action. 
 

TP

[Wookiee Battle force vs hostage]

Hello, 

Per the battleforce rules, Wookiee Warriors (Noble Fighters) count as Corps for list building and Battle Cards. Therefore, they can be selected to start with a hostage upgrade card in Hostage Exchange. 
 

TP

[Kashyyyk defenders speed 1 rule and climb]

Hello, 

No. A speed x move is not a Climb. 
 

TP

[Din’s rifle and relentless]

Hello, 

The speed x move is not a move action, so Relentless does not trigger. Only the Amban’s effect would occur. 
 

TP

[Im in control bane + bossk (sc)]

Hello, 

No, as Bossk cannot gain suppression tokens while enraged. 
 

TP

[Unit claim 2 Hostages]

Hello, 

Yes, a unit can claim two hostages. The effects of both would apply. 
 

TP

[Bomb cart cover in base contact]

Hello, 

Yes, the bomb cart would still grant cover in this scenario. 
 

TP

[Vigilance closed transport]

Hello, 

Yes, as Vigilance does not require line of sight. 
 

TP

[Order of No Time For Sorrows moves]

Hello, 

The free move from “No Time For Sorrows” is made when the unit receives the order.
