Unstoppable and drawing order

[Carey]

Hello there.

Following this pre 2.6 answer, we ran into the same situation. But things changed with 2.6.

RRG states that you can draw a token and activate a unit *that does not have an order token*. Unstoppable states that a unit can be activated if it has one or less token. 

Can i activate an Unstoppable unit that has a faceup Order token, with a token drawn from my order pool? 

If not, what happens with that drawn token?

if yes, is it because Unstoppable overrides the normal eligibility rule, allowing to activate a unit with 0 or 1 facedown Order token, regardless of it having 1 faceup Order token?

if its the case, will it allow to activate a unit that has 1 facedown and 1 faceup Order token?

Thanks 🙂

 Hi there,

"A unit with the Unstoppable keyword is eligible to activate during the Activation Phase while it has one or fewer order tokens." This is an exception to the normal Activation Phase process: Imperial Dark Troopers are eligible to activate so long as they have 0-1 order tokens, and so can be chosen to activate using an order token drawn from the order pool while they have a faceup order token already.

Yes. If it has only a faceup order token, it has one or fewer order tokens, and is eligible to activate.

Correct. Units without the Unstoppable keyword follow the process given in the Choose a Unit to Activate or Pass step: when an order token is drawn randomly from the order pool, the player will then "...activate a unit matching that order token's rank that does not have an order token."

A unit with Unstoppable with one facedown order token and one faceup order token is not eligible to activate using a (third) order token drawn from the order pool, as it has more than one order token assigned to it. It may still be chosen to activate using its faceup order token, as normal.

Hope this helps,
Seth
