DekoPuma Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 In the Promote section of the End Phase, it says that you promote a unit when all of a player's Commander units have been defeated. The "Field Commander" keyword explicitly states that the unit is not a Commander. 1) While a Field Commander is active, a player has no Commander on the table. Can they promote a trooper unit, or does the promotion only trigger after a Commander that had been on the table is defeated? 2) Can a player promote a trooper unit during the End Phase after a Field Commander unit has been defeated? 3) If a player starts the game with Commander rank unit that is later defeated, can a unit with the Field Commander keyword be chosen as the new Commander? If yes, would they become a Commander rank as under the Promote rules, or retain their original rank as described in the Field Commander rules?

A player will promote a trooper unit in the End Phase when they have no commander or Field Commander unit. This has been amended in the 2.5.2 update to the Star Wars: Legion Core Rulebook.

Yes, as above; assuming the Field Commander unit had a commander token when defeated.

When a player is given the opportunity to promote a unit, a unit with Field Commander may not be selected if it is not a trooper unit.
