Melee with multiple units, defeated minis and base contact

[NacNac]

Hi there,

I am seeking clarification on the following. 

A single mini like Yoda in engaged in melee with an enemy unit. It has already activated this turn.

A friendly unit of Wookiees charges the enemy unit, and defeats the mini that was in base contact with Yoda.

If able, Yoda should be moved back in base contact with the enemy unit, correct?

That enemy unit is still engaged with both Yoda, and the Wookiees.

Hi,

After an attack is resolved, "starting with the attacking player, each player must place any friendly miniatures that are no longer in base contact with miniatures in the enemy unit into base contact with the enemy unit." These placements therefore apply to any friendly miniatures in melee (prior to miniatures being defeated), not strictly the unit that just attacked.

Yes, Yoda may be placed into base contact with the enemy unit following the attacks made by the Wookiees. Note that the attacking player may place units in either order; if the Wookiees are placed prior in such a way that Yoda cannot be placed into base contact with an enemy miniature, Yoda does not move and is no longer in melee.

Hope this helps,
Seth
