Rules question: Can heroes use both actions to Rest twice? I'm unclear about the phrase any combination of actions. Can you use the same action twice in a round? Ex. Move twice, rest twice, etc.
Resting
Indeed you can, there is only a few restrictions to it.
From Page 3 of the Rules Reference Guide:
A figure can perform the same action multiple times during the same activation except as follows:
- A non-hero figure can use only one of its actions to perform an attack per activation.
- A figure can perform each special action only once per activation.
We wondered the same thing and found that eventhough I as the IP thought resting twice was overpowerful, there are some possible IP class cards (I know the one I am playing has it) has an interupt when hero's rest in LOS.

Yeah, that's exactly why I asked. Seemed powerful to me. You can also rest when you have no strain to just heal damage I'm assuming? That seems like you could just spend a turn and almost fully heal.
That you definitely could but as my wife said when I told her I did the reply here: You COULD spend 2 actions to rest twice but most missions have had a timer to them. It always came down to "Do I rest now or try to hoof it?"
Yeah, if you watch the Team Covenant play videos, it quickly becomes clear that time is of the essence. If you need to rest then you need to rest, but most of the time you really need to be moving forward and reaching your objectives, so resting is actually a sub-optimal choice.
