Assorted Size Matters Sometimes questions

[kiramode]

1) If Yoda and Chewie aren't in base contact for whatever reason on the turn this card is activated, does Chewie lose the ability to use red dice and deflect while they are not in base?

2) If i play Chewie's 2 pip and Yoda cannot be placed into base contact immediately, can the text of the card (Yoda speed negation, Chewie red dice) still be activated or does it all fizzle? The idea here would be that later in the turn, you'd get Yoda into base and get the red saves.

3) After Chewie moves, can Yoda be placed into base contact with multiple enemy units at once?

4) Does Yoda snap into Chewie if he's meant to be in base? (Example here would be Chewie moves to engage a unit, but there's no space to place Yoda in base with Chewie so he gets placed as close as possible. Chewie defeats the unit he just based and now there's space for Yoda to get into base contact. Does he snap in?)

5) After Chewie moves, if Yoda cannot be placed in base contact and there's multiple places that are equally close to Chewie; could Yoda be placed in one of those places such that he ends up engaged with an enemy unit?

Yes. The Size Matters Sometimes card states that, "While Yoda is in base contact with Chewbacca, Chewbacca gains..." [the quoted effects]. If Yoda is not in base contact with Chewbacca, he does not gain Deflect, cannot spend Yoda's dodge tokens, and does not roll red defense dice.

The Size Matters Sometimes card states that, "if you do" [place Yoda in base contact with Chewbacca after revealing the card], then Yoda cannot perform moves and is placed with Chewbacca when he moves. If you cannot place Yoda in base contact with Chewbacca, those effects will not apply. The other effects (Deflect, spending Yoda's dodge tokens, and red defense dice) apply while Yoda is in base contact, regardless of how or when he got there.

No. Per the Moving into Melee section, "miniatures may never move or be placed in such a way that they would be in base contact with multiple enemy units...".

Yoda is placed in base contact with Chewbacca after Chewbacca performs a move. If he does not move, Yoda is not placed in a new location.

Yes, Yoda may be placed into base contact with an enemy unit.
