Hi Everyone,

I am not sure of the ruling on this but can the AT-DP only be added to a mission where it is listed in the groups. It is only 9 threat that is not that bad to add at the higher missions with threat is 4-5 as an open group just not sure if that is allowed or not.

I've always thought you could add any type of enemy as long as it wasn't habitat limited and you had the threat for it.

Sure, you can always include the AT-DP in your open groups if you feel like it, just like any other non-unique deployment card.

Any non-unique deployment card can be chosen in open groups as long as it isn't already included in initial or reserved groups for the purposes of component limitations. In other words, you first take the initial and reserved groups, and then see what deployment cards are available to be chosen as open groups.

AT-DP isn't unique, so you can include it in open groups without needing to earn it as a villain. (Unique imperial groups are villains.)

While you can include the AT-DP in your open groups, it cannot enter interior tiles during a campaign. So if there aren't any deployment points on exterior tiles, then you wouldn't be able to use it, even if it was in your open groups.

But the question the OP was asking: Can I include the AT-DP in my open group if it's already listed in the initial or reserved groups? I believe the answer is no. The game only includes 1 AT-DP deployment card. And even if you have multiple copies of the AT-DP and it's deployment card, you're still limited to what is in the box.

HotE Rulebook, pg. 3:

Quote

In a campaign, players are limited to the number of figures
and Deployment cards included in this expansion. For example,
the Imperial player is limited to simultaneously using two Sentry
Droid groups and only one'of those groups can be elite, even if he
owns multiple copies of this expansion.

The General Weiss pack doesn't have a components limitation chapter. So, you could have two AT-ST 's and General Weiss at the same time.

(Only one AT-DP at a time though.)

So how do I know if the title is an interior or exterior title?

I am about to do "Into a Corner" and they seem to be exterior as the names of the areas appear to be exterior spaces.

Actually I believe (someone feel free to correct me if I’m misremembering) the ruling on this was a little different, as the rule don’t prohibit this. You can deploy it as close to a deployment point as possible. So as long as the are exterior tiles you can deploy it.

I’ll try to find the ruling if I can. EDIT : found it, it’s actually in the FAQ.

Each rulebook has a full listing of what tiles are interior or exterior. In general you can use common sense though: if it’s forest or desert your good, but I imagine it might start to get hard to tell with the streets of Coruscant.

Also the "Upcoming FAQ" contains an up to date list of interior tiles. Most tiles are fairly obvious.

(You can deploy a massive figure if there are enough exterior spaces even when there are only active deployment points on interior spaces. But usually it's not something you want to do.)

Thanks

I looked at the Heart of the Empire rule book and I do not see a listing of which tiles are interior there can you point me to a page? I also check the faq on the website and I do not see the interior tiles listed there either.

In Heart of the Empire, tiles 01A-­12A are composed of interior
spaces and those tiles have the interior tile type.

Bah sorry was blind thank you.

Somewhat related, bringing in an AT-DP for 6 threat with Armored Division is a lot of fun.

I thought that card was bad with the SC2 repulsor tank.

I have always found the AT-DP really underpriced and we have now made it 15 threat after complete overuse of it beating General Weiss in a 1V1 situation. Does anyone agree?

Not sure that's a fair comparison, since it's generally agreed on that Weiss is severely overpriced as is.

But when it comes to vehicles, I'll at least say that the AT-DP is very competitively priced, at least.

In the campaign it is pretty unlikely for AT-DP to be facing and attacking General Weiss.

In the campaign AT-DP cannot enter interior spaces, and in late game the rebels can usually take it out in one and a half activations. (If they even need to do that instead of just running. With Speed 3 the AT-DP has trouble keeping up.)
