We are getting ready to play BT-1 and 0-0-0's side mission, "Etiquette and torture". Maybe it is just the fact that the neutral figures (captives) are tokens but I wanted confirmation as to whether the rebels can share a space with a neutral figure (like a companion token). I thought they could but now I have talked myself into thinking they can't. Since they block line of sight, sharing a space would be a poor strategy I suppose.

I hope they can't because I got some weaponless WOTC Star Wars figures just for missions like this (in lieu of the tokens).

If the rules state that the tokens are figures then you can't share a space with them. ?

See Neutral Figures from RRG.

The mission rule says the tokens represent neutral figures, thus they are neutral figures and not objects. Using the neutral figures to block line of sight of the imperial figures to the heroes is one valid strategy.

I actually used other heroes for this mission for the prisoners. A lot more fun than simply tokens.

Also, a good visual reminder that they're figures.

Seconded. When I played Imperial Hospitality, the Rebels weren't just rescuing some random operative. They were rescuing Verena Talos. It helps a lot to raise the stakes.

Haha, nice!

We used Lando for that one. Diala won the mission by force pushing Lando to the extraction (and, via our flavor text, "out the window")

She probably just killed him.

(In Imperial Hospitality the captive needs to spend a movement point to escape (see RRG, Escaping). Thus Force Throw doesn't work - it is Pushing, not giving movement points. Tactical Movement and some other abilities of the newer heroes would work.)

Eh, it was a really long time ago.

I could see us having made that mistake

I find some of the old Star War Miniatures models are great for neutral figures / mission tokens. We've had Ewoks, Twi'leks and all sorts of other things as civilians, hostages, targets and objectives.

Do they fit okay on the grid? What size are they?

I think they're a tiny bit smaller in scale, and definitely not as detailed / well sculpted, but the base size is almost exactly the same.

Meh. They're civilians. They don't need to be as detailed. I'll have to take a look and see if they work for my table.
