Vaders Force Choke and Chewies Slam (can they be used twice?)

By topacesteve, in Imperial Assault Rules Questions

Hello, i have 2 questions :

1. Vader during his activation he moves and (special action) force chokes. Can he use Force Choke again at the end of the round?

2. Chewie moves and does a (special action) slam. Can he do a 2nd free slam (at the same or different figure?)

1. Yes. Driven by Hatred allows you to attack or force choke at the end of round. It’s not restricted by anything that happened during a previous activation.

2. There are multiple threads on here talking about the same question, here is one. Short answer, No.

Easy way to think:

A special action may only be performed once during your activation

This restriction is why Officers can't Order x2, but it's legal for vanilla Vader to Force Choke+Brutality

Hatred Vader's bonus force choke happens at the end of round, thus bypasses this restriction: technically end of round bonus says he activates, but it's not during his (during a normal round) activation

No such bonus for Chewie, so Chewie can still only slam x1, regardless whether you spend an action to do it

Recent FAQ confirms that Chewie cannot double slam.

Just to make it clear: Performing abilities during end of round (or start of round) are not activations.

if you played Single Purpose you could Force Choke 3 times in one round

4 with To the Limit (though it stuns you~)

I'm pretty sure Single Purpose says "up to twice." so you can't perform the same special action three times per activation. (Yep, remembered correctly.)
