Overdrive and Blaze of Glory - does IG-88 get 6 attacks?

By Sazzlefrats, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

Overdrive says "Use at the start of a round. During this round, each of your Droids may suffer 2 during its activation to perform 1 additional action. Limit once per Droid ."

Blaze of Glory, IG-88 gets another activation.

I wasn't quite sure if Overdrive is once per activation or per turn. The Limit once per Droid, stops you from doing it multiple times during a single activation, I'm not sure the card takes into effect when IG-88 uses blaze of glory.

I think once per Droid sums it up. So just once.

Since Overdrive is used at the start of the round, the effect is limited to only once per droid for the entire round.

You still get 5 actions this way, though.

I was hoping for something hopelessly broken. But still... I had 5 point blank shots on General Weiss... that's a lot of unhappiness headed his way :-)

If you play with a leader, you could throw in "New Orders" to ready him again. Thats 7 actions. And an incredible command card draw.

I find new orders is hard card to pull off. But.. I was running 4 officers :P

So if I had two elite officers, New Orders, Blaze of Glory, Overdrive, and.... to the limit.... We are up to 10 attacks. Utterly ridiculous of course, plus IG-88 would be exhausted after that :P

I think, it's 2 normal attacks, plus 2 attacks for New Orders, plus 2 attacks for Blaze of Glory, plus one attack for Overdrive, plus 2 for the Elite Officers = 9 attacks

To the Limit needs a Special Action, IG-88 has no Special Action?

Correct.

I would make sure to have two Elite Probe droids in the squad too just in case IG88 Dies.

So I would go with: Elite Officer, Ig88, Elite Probe x2, Royal Guard, Officer x2, Tempo: 40pts, 7 acts
