Bantha moving on top of enemy figures.

By TryerImp, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

We had a game tonight where the Bantha moved on top of enemy figures. Where do these get moved to? (They are in a 2 square wide corridor) Bantha moved 4 squares to the right to end up on top of figures 1 + 2.

I said the figures get moved by the Bantha player as its his activation, and moved to the nearest place adjacent to the Banth (ie minimum displacement), even if this forces other figures to move to make way as in the diagram below. Other person says it should be him moving his figures and me moving mine if this also happens.

Also, who decides on which figure gets moved 1st and the order of the others as this could be important for other actions as you can end up getting figures 'pushed' and end up gaining a few squares in the process.

Example 1 shows minimum displacement including chain push on the trooper. Example 2 shows no chain push but figure 2 does not move minimum displacement as he has moved 3 squares and not the 1 square as in example 1. What is correct??

Start Example 1 Example 2

B BB _ _ _1T_ _ _ B B B1T_ _ _BBB1T

B B B _ _ _ 2TT _ _ B B B2TT _1BBBTT

_=Empty square

B=Bantha

T=Trooper

1=enemy

2=enemy

Check out the rules reference guide under Massive.

​You push friendly figures first, then the opponent pushes his figures.

You only move the figures being sat on by the massive figure, not any others. This could effectively lead to some being pushed over others.

Yep, read Massive from the RRG and the latest FAQ/Errata. It tells how the figures are pushed . (First the figures of the Banthas' controller are pushed in the order of the controller's choosing, then the other figures in the order of their controller's choosing.)

Note that you don't push any figures until the Bantha (Massive figure) stops movement. Also, if a Massive figure stops movement while sharing any spaces with any other figure, it can not spend movement points to move again during the same activation. (And Massive can't enter spaces with other Massive figures.)
