Can an AT-RT enter into Melee with Speeder Bikes

By Lumberjack Nick, in Rules

I have two Speeder Bikes zooming past an AT-RT, can an AT-RT enter into Melee with Speeder Bikes?

Sure can! The only times you cannot enter a melee are:

1. You don’t have a melee weapon or

2. The enemy unit has “Immune: melee”

Vehicles don't get 'engaged' in melee like two trooper units would, but they can still be attacked with melee weapons (unless 'immune: melee' as mentioned above.)

The At-Rt performs a melee attack that defeats one Speeder Bike , should the At-Rt be moved into base contact with the remaining 74-Z Speeder Bike like trooper units?

According to the official answer we have for this situation but with Luke, I'd say that the AT-RT moves into base contact with the other speeder, as I see no difference between Luke and an AT-RT for this case.

Question: If Luke Skywalker is in base contact with a 74-Z Speeder Bike miniature, and performs a melee attack that defeats that mini, should the Luke Skywalker mini be moved into base contact with the remaining 74-Z Speeder Bike mini?

Answer: Yes. As a rule, if a unit with a melee weapon is in base contact with an enemy unit, each mini in the first unit must be placed into base contact with the enemy unit whenever a player is able to do so. In the situation where an enemy mini that is in base contact is defeated, a player should move any other minis back into base contact with the enemy unit, if able. A player does this, as in the instance above, even when each enemy mini that was in base contact has just been defeated. If a player is unable to move any of their minis back into base contact with any enemy minis, the two units are no longer in base contact and all minis remain where they are on the battlefield.
