TRESPASS -- Jabba's Realm Mission #1 -- "Barricade" Question -- (possible spoilers!)

By Nechromius, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

As the Imperial Player, I have a question about the "Barricade" in the very first mission of the Jabba's Realm campaign...

(You probably shouldn't read this if you don't want *spoilers*...)

In the map/setup, there are 3 squares of the map -- side-by-side -- that have white tokens on them.

The bulleted description reads: "The neutral mission tokens represent a barricade. A Rebel figure can attack the barricade (Health: 4, Defense: 1 "block symbol"). The barricade blocks movement, line of sight, adjacency, and counting spaces."

Further on, the "Event" trigger for "Ambush" says: "When the Barricade is destroyed..."

How to interpret this thematic element of the mission???

  • Does the whole/entire barricade have 4 Health and 1 (point of) Defense?
  • Or does each/every token/square of the barricade have 4 Health and 1 (point of) Defense?
  • If the barricade exists as a whole (with a total of 4 Health and 1 point of Defense) does that mean that it can be attacked from/at any of its squares?
  • If the barricade exists as 3 separate squares, does that mean that each/every *piece* of it has to be destroyed individually, before the Event triggers?

I think I/we played this *wrong* the first time through, and I don't want to make a mistake (again) the second time through...

What do you think???

All tokens together form the object named barricade.

So, yes, no, yes, no.

a1bert is correct

It's probably easiest to look at it this way:

Don't see the three tokens and three individual tokens. Look at them as if they were one 3x1 Token, and you can target it the same way you would a 2x1 figure.

@a1bert let's assume an enemy stands adjacent to the central token of the barricade. Would 1 Blast inflict 1 damage or would it inflict 3? I guess we should apply rules for large figures and apply 1 damage, right?

Yes. a figure or object suffers from Blast only once (per Blast), regardless of the number of spaces affected. It's actually in the blast rules.

Blast said:

The Blast keyword appears on some cards. If the target of this
figure's attack suffers one or more dmg (damage), each figure and
object
adjacent to the target space suffers dmg equal to the Blast
value. For example, 'Blast 1dmg' causes each figure and object
adjacent to the target to suffer 1dmg.

I.e. you are not checking the adjacent spaces to apply the damage, you are checking for adjacent figures and objects.

When I declare an attack to the barricade, Do I have to choose just one "square" of it? if Yes, if i Choose the far right, does the blast affect a Stormtrooper adjacento to the far left of the barricade?

Because the barricade (object) occupies more than one space, when declaring it as a target you choose one space it occupies and that space becomes the target(ed) space. Blast uses the target space as a reference for adjacency, not the target figure or object.

Thank you!
