questions about 3 abilities

By Lord Vapor, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

Hired Gun

Disposable: while defending, apply -1 X to your defense results.

Does that mean they can not roll X man?

If so, do they automatically get a blank result?

IG88

Relentless: when you declare an attack targeting a figure within 3 squares, that figure suffers 1 strain.

Does this mean 1 damage in skirmish?

R2-D2

Lucky: while defending, if you roll a blank, did +1 X to the defense result.

Is this an auto X man?

Thanks

Hired guns: if the roll an X it is treated as blank.

IG: it's up to the victim. It can be one damage or he can discard 1 command card from the top of his deck.

R2: No, there are 4 faces with blocks and surge cancels, 1 with an X, and 1 blank. If you roll the blank face you get +1X.

Ok, thanks for the answers. This helps a lot. Can I assume that whenever we see a strain result, I'm skirmish it follows what you say ( the victim chooses the damage or command card loss.)

Yes. Look at Strain in the RRG.

Yes, thanks. Somehow I missed the part with the choice. I only remembered the damage part...
