Greedo, Headhunter, and Wing guards

By roman2440, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

I realize Greedo isn't out yet but I have an interesting rules question in regards to his slow on the draw ability.

Here is the scenario:

* Greedo has headhunter equipped and ready (can exhaust when a hostile figure takes strain to reduce the strain by 1 and discard a card)

* Greedo is adjacent to a friendly wing guard unit

* Greedo declares an attack on an enemy figure that also has LOS on Greedo

* Enemy figure makes use of Greedo's slow on the draw to pre-empt Greedo with an attack on Greedo

* The friendly wing guard triggers Keep the Peace, takes a strain to force the enemy to take a strain

The question is can Greedo at this moment trigger headhunter? I believe so since the strain is during Greedo's activation. However I'd like to see what others think of such a situation.

If this does work - I would think this may be a good way to help Greedo be more aggressive.

Yes, I don't see any problem.

But note that the attack on Slow on the Draw is optional, the target of Greedo's attack does not need to perform it if the player knows about this trap.
