Is it just me or does this seem overpowered? Especially if they deploy it on ST. The rules say that the attachment is for the whole unit, which I take to mean each of them get to use it each activation? So am I right or is it just one of them that gets to make an order each activation? If they can each make an order each activation that would mean they could order another much stronger unit to attack 3 times (1 Trooper = 1 Order X 3 = 3 Attacks). Which could equal 6 attacks total for their activation which seems insane to me.

It's only "Order". I.e. it only commands a move, not an attack.

Field General does indeed grant Executive Order, which can be used to attack. However, you seem to have totally miss the fact that to use the actual card, you need to exhaust it.... So no spaming.

Ok good, we had an argument with the imperial player and his position was that each trooper would be able to make an order. Glad that it is exhaust and only one trooper would be able to make an order, otherwise that would be way OP IMHO.

Sorry, for some reason I was looking at Field Officer. But I think there's still a problem when I was trying to figure it out before I thought it was order and not XO.

The card actually reads 'You gain [A]: Executive Order.....', so what is it that gains the action. The specific figure you happen to be on, or the group as a whole?

RRG page 1:

"Many cards use the word "you" to refer to a figure instead of a player."

From this I'd infer that "you" doesn't refer to a group and so it'd be the former.

If there are multiple figures in a single deployment group, then all figures are affected by any attachments. **HOWEVER**, When an effect on a card is granted by exhausting the attachment, then only one figure in the deployment group gets the listed benefit.

Why?

"Exhaust", RRG, Page 12:

Abilities on exhausted cards can be used as long as the abilities do not require the player to exhaust the card to use the ability.

As soon as you exhaust the attachment, that figure gains the ability during its own activation, and then, because the attachment is exhausted, you cannot grant that ability again until the card is readied.

And I know what some of you are thinking "But Fizz, it says 'you' and that refers to all the figures in the group". Well, you are partially right. It applies as long as it is not exhausted. This means that the Imperial player will have the flexibility to chose one figure in that group to gain the ability (whether is it adding an attack die, rerolling a defense die, giving a figure Order / Executive order), but once exhausted, it stops being an active effect as soon as that figure's activation ends (not the whole group's activation, it doesn't work like that).
