Anti-Capture Protocols

[jr53et]

Curious whether you have to self destruct at the end of the round that you get 3 wounds, or does it only work on the round you play his command card?

And if it’s not optional, and you play that  command card on a previous round (for the order or whatever, but not the self destruct attack), then get to 3 wounds on another round, do you pull his card from the discard pile to do that attack?

The command card Anti-Capture Protocols - and every other command card unless specified otherwise, such as with the Permanent keyword - is only in effect for the round in which it is played. If IG-11 has 3 or more wounds at the end of his activation on a round that the Anti-Capture Protocols command card is not in play, nothing further happens as the card and its effects are not in play.

Selecting and playing the command card during the Command Phase is optional. If it is played, IG-11 will perform the attack if he has 3 or more wounds at the end of his activation, as instructed. If it is in your command card discard pile, nothing happens - the command card is not in play.

Hope this helps,
