Melee while not in cohesion

[Thunderbound]

Hello,

It is stated in the rulebook on page 19 that if a unit is not in cohesion for whatever reason, its next action must be a move action that ends in cohesion. How does this interact with moves that end in two trooper units being engaged, but one unit is not able to place all minis in cohesion?

For instance, Captain Rex is on a ledge, and an ewok unit climbs onto the ledge into base contact with Rex, but there is only space for 1 other model on the ledge, so the other miniatures are placed on the mat which is lower than a silhouette height but as close as possible to the unit leader. The ewoks then wish to perform a melee attack. Can they do this, since performing a move action that ends in cohesion is impossible to perform?

Thanks.

Hi there,

This question has been broadly answered prior, but for clarity regarding the Charge keyword as well:

"If a unit is not in cohesion for whatever reason, its next action must be a move action that ends with all miniatures in cohesion." A unit that is not presently in cohesion may perform no other actions, free or otherwise, unless that action is a move action to re-establish cohesion.

The Ewok unit may not perform a melee attack action, as that would be performing an action other than a move action while not in cohesion.

Hope this helps,
Seth
