Official FAQ and Current Tournament Maps
Well, yeah, all elites can perform might, tech, and insight tests and always receive 1 success, so what is the point of this ability? Is Artoo intended to score 2 successes on tech tests, one for being elite and a second for this ability?
Allies can not voluntarily perform attribute tests, only when they are forced too (by Stun Grenades for instance). R2 can also perform tech tests voluntarily, enabling him to complete mission objectives (which other allies usually can't).
Main post edited to include current FAQ link and explanation of Royal Guard, Imperial Officer and Rebel Saboteur changes.
As I'm new to the forums I'd might have missed this, but will there be new replacement cards that FFG will distribute for the Imperial Officer, Royal Guard and Rebel Saboteur?
I don't know what FFG's policy normally is in these cases.

Replacement cards will be made available in the 2016 tournament kits as common cards (meaning all attendees should be able to get at least one per tournament).

FAQ Updated for Urgency and Close and Personal
Question on "Rebel Saboteurs" deployment cards:
Grop Limit on cards is 2, but in rules sheet there is a comment: "you can only summon 1 regular and 1 elite unit, regardless of the number of copies of this addon"
so, there is obiously an error.
the question is - error on cards, or in the rules?
There is no group limit on the card. Thats the number of figures in a group. The 1/1 rule is only for campaign.
Your 'unit' probably means a deployment group. A deployment group can have from 1 to 3 figures.
In the campaign you are generally limited to one core box and one copy of each expansion, with the two exceptions this far:
- you can only use 2 regular and 1 elite Stormtrooper group even if you buy the Stormtrooper villain pack
- you can use both deployment cards from the Hired Guns villain pack, i.e. two packs worth of figures (2 + 2 figures).

In the RRG under "Friendly Figure" bullet one, page 13 it says,
"A figure is friendly to itself"
So as long as Miracle Worker doesn't say "when another friendly figure besides yourself" wouldn't that mean it could be used on himself?
Actually, the phrase "another friendly" should be enough to exclude "self".
Edited by FizzActually, the phrase "another friendly" should be enough to exclude "self".
I agree. But miracle worker says "when a friendly figure within three spaces" - not "another". Wouldn't "a" include the one using it as well? I also feel this is supported by the fact that his healing ability is usable on himself as well.
"Medical Loadout - special action - "you or an adjacent friendly figure recovers 3 damage"
The phrase "a friendly" includes "self".
Looking at the errata on Field Officer/Field General, you can see the difference between "Choose *a* friendly figure" (which is what is written on the card) and "Choose *another* friendly figure" (the errata), since this card was never intended for a figure to "order" itself.

Right, so unless they change the wording on miracle worker it includes MHD. He can keep himself from dying. That's what I was trying to say. Originally was pointing out where the rrg gave info on it to help. That's all. I never thought he couldn't use it on himself for the above reasons. I did think it was weird at first though.

I told Paul it wasn't important and I guess he took me up on the offer:
Yes, MHD-19 can use the Miracle Worker (Command Card) on himself.Also, yes if your Command deck is empty you lack the secondary resource to cancel the strain and must take it as damage.Thanks!
Does Verena's Improvised Cover work for each adjacent enemy or only 1?
Does Verena's Improvised Cover work for each adjacent enemy or only 1?
(This isnt the thread for questions, only answers.)
Abilities can only be triggered once per timing instance, so Improvised Cover applies +1 block if there are any adjacent hostile figures other than the attacker. Choose one of them to suffer 1 dmg.

I asked this of the FFG Rules contact:
What happens when a figure is Stunned while moving through another figure's space? This came up due to Parting Blow; a figure was moving through an occupied space, and when they attempted to exit a Royal Guard played Parting Blow and Stunned the figure. The figure can't voluntarily leave the square nor perform actions while in the occupied square, per my understanding of the rules. We played it that the figure had to go to the nearest unoccupied space, similar to if a Massive figure had occupied their space. In this case the figure had already used its other activation, but if they had not, could they clear the Stun and then spend the rest of their movement points?
And the answer:
Yes, if a figure unexpectedly loses the ability to exit a space while in an occupied space, that figure is pushed to the nearest empty space. Its movement points would not be forfeited though, in this case, so if it was able to clear stun, it could still spend any remaining movement points.
Thanks!

Apparently, we play it in the most literal sense and I was wrong on the intent of awkward. Thematically I don't really like it, but for simplicity's sake its a good ruling. See below.
Hi Troy,
Awkward prohibits attack any adjacent figure, regardless of the targeted space. So an AT-ST could not attack an adjacent Bantha Rider, even if he intended to target a space that was not adjacent to the AT-ST.
Thanks!

Rules Question:
When an AT-ST is standing directly adjacent to a large figure (say for example, a Bantha), can that AT-ST attack it?
According to the RRG (and what I believe intent was supposed to be) I would say yes due to the following rules:
Figures do not block line of sight to or from a massive figure.
If the target is a large figure, the attacker must target one space that the target occupies.
As I interpret this it would mean that the AT-ST could then target a space that the Bantha occupies that is not adjacent to the AT-ST. The only problem here is the wording of Awkward. It specifically says that "You cannot attack adjacent figures". And the Bantha is an adjacent figure, therefore it can not be attacked without the AT-ST first moving.
As it stands, the current rules would not allow for the AT-ST to attack the Bantha, but I don't believe that was the intent of Awkward. Would "Your attack cannot target a space adjacent to your own figure" work better?
Can you please elaborate on the intention of Awkward and whether or not the AT-ST could attack the Bantha in this situation?
Thanks,
T
FAQ updated for Awkward query.
Stun/Push/Space query still pending edits.
Question answered about the command card 'Covering Fire' - Use at the start of a round. During this round, each of your Troopers gains: [sURGE]: Stun. If the target was already stunned, apply +2{DMG] to the attack results.
Q: What happens when attacker rolls 3 damage and a surge, and a stunned defender rolls 3 block?
Can the attacker apply the +2 damage to get 2 damage through? Or, since it was not able to apply the stun because all the dice damage was blocked, would it be prevented from adding the +2 damage?
A: This is a very interesting interaction! In this case, the +2 damage would be applied.
The ability from Covering Fire isn't actually an either/or. It has two effects:
Apply Stun (as a keyword)
(If the target is Stunned) apply +2 [damage] to the attack results
Needing to have dealt damage is only important for applying the Stun condition, not for resolving any other parts of that [surge] ability.
