Timing of standby tokens

[maverick4538]

Hey, I’m unclear on the timing of standby in general gameplay. Most commonly,when a unit with charge/relentless moves into melee with a unit with a standby token. I assume that the move action triggers the charge/relentless melee attack and AFTER that my opponent can attack back with their standby before I then take my second action. My opponent argues that he attacks with standby after my move but BEFORE I can attack him with charge/relentless.

could you clarify whose correct please, many thanks

Hello,

As stated in the Standby entry: "A standby token is spent before any effects that trigger after an attack, attack action, move, or move action."

Your opponent is correct. A standby token is spent before other effects after a move action, including free attacks performed using the Charge or Relentless unit keywords.

Hope this helps,
