At my local store we have been playing the objective card that says at the end of the game whoever has more unit leaders touching a piece of terrain with an objective token on it gets a victory point. Here's the question though; what is considered a unit leader?

I've been saying every unit has a unit leader, stormtrooper units have one stormtrooper that is designated leader but also an ATST is it's own unit leader,an Atrt is it's own leader, Luke or Vader is his own leader etc.

My friend says only trooper units have designated unit leaders so an ATST or Luke or a unit with a single figure doesn't count as a unit leader.

Clarification? Thank you!

UNIT LEADER (pg 44)
One mini in each unit is the unit leader.

• The unit leader is represented by a mini that has been sculpted to depict a rank insignia, pauldron, or other indicator of leadership.

• For units that consist of a single mini, that mini is the unit leader.

Easy one.

The word “trooper” does not appear at all in the entire unit leader rules section.

for further clarification, in Units, on the previous page:

Each unit has one unit leader.

» For trooper units, the unit leader is represented by a mini that has been sculpted to depict a rank insignia, pauldron, or other indicator of leadership.

» For units with only one mini, that mini is the unit leader.

I think the confusion here is that some objectives like "Intercept the Transmissions" specifically say trooper unit leaders. Though Luke and Vader are indeed troopers and unit leaders.

“Trooper” units are any unit that has a small base

so corps units and Vader, veers, etc are eligible if it says trooper on the card

That's currently true, but it's not a great way to describe it because there's no reason FFG couldn't release units in the future on small bases that aren't troopers. Trooper units list the keyword "Trooper" on their unit card.

It is not my definition, it is worded exactly such from the RRG

FFG will not put small bases on any future unit type that is not a trooper

examplw is emplacement troopers that are announced they are on larger bases since they don’t qualify as a trooper per the definition in the rules

The RRG will be updated as new units release, that's the entire point.

Well, and thy are “Emplacenent Troopers”, sovwell see wether or not they count as Troopers for said Rules when said rules are released.

Ok so Apperently the rules as written mean nothing

I stand corrected. So Apperently whenever you have a question about how to play the game just know that any and all interpretations are correct

No reason to answer the original posters question because rando forum commander wants to confuse his original question because it is possible in 2020 that a micro base may be added therefore the rules may change

Actually thank you, no reason for me to play the game actually since I will wAit for all future updates to come out and for the game to no longer he supported so I have the final rules to adhere to. Thank you me argumentative straw man armument Guy. You saved me from All the stress and anxiety I may have had

Uh, okay?

I mean, it’s not like I ANSWERED the original question first reply anyway.

Wasn’t referring to you

and you did answer the first part, and I answered the “trooper question” then svelok felt he had to speculate on possible future changes and muddy the smsinole answer to the OP question

we all know things can and will change but the OP is playing now and now, the RRG as you and I pointed out answers his question

That's great and all but you're the one who said this:

Then flipped out on @svelok when they pointed out the rules can change. They never said to ignore the current rules, just that you shouldn't say FFG wont do a thing ever just because the rules are currently written one way.

Whatever kid

i did say that and I probably should have not say will never. I’m not going to indulge you toxic tools anymore. Shame on me for forgetting why I don’t participate in most threads because you lonely pathetic people just wait to disagree with even the most trivial things just to disagree.

the OP asked a simple add wuestion. Asked for clarification, not opinions and not future speculation

Drasnighta answers and provided the documentation, I added on the clarification and provided the documentation to answer the question.

that should pretty much end the thread. If you want to speculate on future rules do that in a speculation thread or tRt your own, It just blows my mind how no matter what forum you go to there are the people like you guys who just get boned up by arguing over the silliest ****

OP, hope those answers helped clarify your question and have fun playing

The only person acting immature is you. All someone did is correct a statement you made. It wasn't a personal attack. Read it, acknowledge or not, and move on.
