In a skirmish game, does the Dodge symbol on the white dice block things like "Relentless" (Trandoshan Hunter, IG-88)?

By El_Tonio, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

I'm thinking no since relentless happens "when you declair an attack" and is not actually part o the attack that can be blocked.

Obviously this only matters in the skirmish game where the strain would be turnd to damage. I know you can discard a command card to prevent strain from turning to damage during skirmish play, but I wanted to make sure it also couldn't be blocked by the dice.

In other words, I think if Relentless triggers in skirmish (i.e., you are within 3 spaces when you declair an attack), it does one auto-damage that can only be blocked if you discard a command card. Correct?

Correct.

Beware Iggy Pop.

Why is everyone calling him Iggy Pop? I've never heard this before and now everyone on the forums seem to be saying it.

Pretty sure they call him Iggy Pop in the Robot Chicken Star Wars episodes.

He's got a Lust For Lifetaking!

Iggy pop also loves basketball.
