Greetings all, I'm seeking some clarification on the use of Standby.

If a unit with Steady or Charge is on Standby is triggered, can that unit use its free move action to also perform its free melee attack action? e.g. 1 if a unit of Wookie warriors uses its move from standby and it moves into base contact with an enemy unit can it perform its free melee attack action? e.g. 2 could Snowtroopers use the free move and then perform its free ranged attack? or is the Standby action move or attack only?

Also is there any rule saying that the unit that triggers Standby must be the target of the attack action? i.e. if the enemy unit ( e.g. Stormtroopers ) has used both its actions to move twice, could I decide to use the standby attack action to attack another unit at beyond range 2? or in example 1 above could the Wookies charge into contact with a different unit.

Thanks.

That’s such an interesting question. ?

Yes you can. When you trigger standby, you perform a move “action”. So anything that triggers from that action can do so.

Nope! You perform an attack action with no extra restrictions. So you can attack anything that your weapons allow you to. You can even split fire as usual if you wanted.
