Hello All,

Quick question that I couldn't locate the answer to.

What happens to the losing side's leader after combat if they did not (or could not) retreat from battle? Are they eliminated? Or captured?

Thanks!

They simply just stay in the system for the remainder of the round.

Thanks! I was rather hoping they were captured or eliminated. That would put some risk on sending leaders.

That would be a tremendous advantage to the imperial player and their superior military. And they already have a handful of ways to hinder the rebellion's leader pool.

So ask yourself if you would be comfortable with that when you're playing the rebellion. If the answer is yes, and your opponent agrees, go ahead and houserule it.

Geez, leaders are at a premium as it is, I think giving either side another way to get rid of them would be disastrous.

Your leaders are how you make every move in the game. Why would you want more ways to get rid of them.
