FatalSwordsmen Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 We have a ruling that Immobilize tokens can reduce a hostage carrier to speed 0. can other speed reducing effects lower the hostage to 0? For example, A unit of wookies with a battleshield in armor mode pick up a hostage. Are they speed 0 A unit of imperial Special forces, during Iden's tactical strike turn, opt to lower their speed while holding a hostage. Are they speed 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, A unit of wookies with a battleshield in armor mode pick up a hostage. Are they speed 0 A “speed-reducing effect” can reduce a unit to speed 0 if it has no stated minimum, as is the case with immobilize tokens. As the Battle Shield Wookiee upgrade does not reduce its unit’s maximum speed by 1 to a minimum of one, it can reduce the Wookiee Warriors unit to speed 0 - this will be the case in your given example.

Are they speed 0 Iden Versio’s Tactical Strike does not reduce a unit’s maximum speed by any value: it reduces its maximum speed to 1. A unit under the effects of the Tactical Strike and equipped with the Hostage upgrade card will have a maximum speed of 1 that round and not be reduced to speed 0.
