Brushfire and wounding heroes

By udat, in Imperial Assault Campaign

Hi,

I have seen a few threads where people have mentioned a special rule when a Rebel is wounded while carrying a bomb. I am looking at the mission page in the campaign guide now, and I see nothing other than "they drop it" but it stays disarmed, so they don't need to do anything else with it to win.

e.g. "Notice what happens if you can get a rebel hero wounded while they are carrying a bomb. biggrin.gif"

Am I missing something?

If they are not carrying it, they can't use it on the AT-ST.

Right, so they need to use actions to pick them up again. That's what I thought. That was almost decisive tonight. Fenn was carrying 2 bombs with 4 HP left and was shot at by 2 Greedo's (one focused) and I only managed to do 3 damage. He then tactical moved and strain moved up to me and planted both. Git. As it happened, I wounded him on my next activation though, making it very hard for him to pass the disarm check, thus winning me the game.

I had assumed when I read your post about "what happens" with the big grin that the explosives were unstable or something, and blew up in their hands if they were wounded :P

I may have also misremembered the event Last Stand.
