Being a new player and an old bugger I need help.

could someone please explain when you can use multiple attacks in the skirmish version.

ive read some threads but still not sinking in

thanks

The Attack action allows a figure to perform an attack. Special actions may also include the figure performing an attack.

A non-hero (everyone in skirmish) can perform attacks in just one action during their activation.

- Any number of attacks can be performed during that action. (e.g. Brutality, Rapid Fire)

- Any number of attacks from abilities that are not actions do not count towards the limit. (e.g. Heroic, Sustained Fire in campaign)

- Attacks outside of the figure's activation do not count towards the limit (also because the figure is not performing an action). (e.g. Executive Order, Battlefield Leadership, Order Hit)

Assault removes this restriction.

Only performing an attack is an attack, other actions and abilities that cause a target figure or object to suffer damage are not attacks. (e.g. Force Choke, Indiscriminate Fire)

In skirmish you can not use brutality, so just trying to get my head around when a figure can do more than one attack in a activation.

You can use brutality in skirmish, as it's only one action that gives you two attacks.

only one action can be used to gain one or more attacks.

but if the action has multiple attacks (brutality, rapid fire) that is perfectly legal.

if they have the assault ability, multiple actions can be used to attack.

if the action isn't an action (heroic), then it doesn't count towards your one attack in an action per activation limit.

You can use Brutality and Rapid Fire in skirmish - Rapid Fire is even skirmish only.

The limit is not the number of attacks during your activation, it's the number of actions that contain one or more attacks during your activation.

RRG, Actions said:

-- A non-hero figure can use only one of its actions to perform an attack per activation.

There is no rule that prevents a figure from performing multiple attacks with that one action.

Thanks I think I'm getting it
