Quick question on rerolls. I have a reroll on attack (targeting computer, stormtroopes adjacent, etc.) and I'm attacking an Imp officer who has the cower ability (rerolling a defense dice). What is the order of operation. Who picks which dice to reroll first? That based on the particular results, one might choose not to reroll based on what the opponent chooses to reroll. I wasn't able to find anything in the RRG on timing (although i didn't look too hard). Thanks

Edit: Looks like the attacker resolves first and then the defender. Found on page 9 under conflicts. Can anyone confirm my understanding?

Mission first, then attacker, then Defender. (RRG page 2)

You are correct.

Also page 2, Timing.

During attacks: Mission/core rules, attacker, defender.

Outside of attacks: Mission/core rules, imperial, rebel.

If there are more than one ability with the same trigger inside the class, then the preferred order of the attacker/defender/imperial/rebel, in the campaign the imperial player decides the order of simultaneous mission/core rules, in skirmish the player with the initiative.

Response I got from FFG back in March on this:

Rules Question:
re: Rerolls How are they handled? In step 3 of the attack, yes, but beyond that. Do all rerolls happen at the same time. Does the attacker resolve his rerolls then the defender? Example, for an HK- can an attacker have the defender reroll before deciding if he wants to reroll an attack dice?

Hi Jimmy,

Any timing conflicts that occur during an attack are resolved in the order of mission rules, attacker effects, defender effects. If either the attacker or defender has multiple effects he wishes to resolve at once, he decides the order. So, all attacker effects that allow or require rerolls would happen before any defender effects that allow or require rerolls. In the case of the HK Assassin Droid, both of reroll abilities on the card would be considered attacker effects, even though one forces the defender to roll a die. So the HK’s player could decide to use “Versatile Weaponry” before using “Targeting Computer.” Both of these effects would occur before any effects the defender controls causing rerolls.

Thanks!
