Basic question, when you get directions to "Move 3 spaces and attack Fenn" but Fenn is not within three spaces, or wouldn't be in range for a shot, do you go to the next step of "Move 5 to be within 3" or whatever it says, then go back to the top and perform the attack? Or do you just go to the next best "Imperial decision" target and then use the movement to re position from the available targets after the attack?

Essentially one will guarantee you get to attack something. The other might set you up for an attack next round on that target, but might not get you to where you need to be immediately.

I've also noticed that it will give multiple options usually. First one is like move 3 to be within 3, then the next one is move 9 to be within 3. Is this the apps way of ensuring that it will get within range? Are you literally moving twice in some activations?

"Move 3 spaces and attack Fenn"

Do you mean "Move 3 to attack « Fenn »"? If yes, then « Fenn » is using targeting priority, and becomes "Move 3 to attack closest rebel" if 3 movement points doesn't allow the figure to attack Fenn. If there are multiple rebel figures (heroes or allies) that are equally close, choose the worst (usually closest to being defeated).

You never go back in the instruction list.

Note that Reposition actions are never skipped (you perform them as well as you can, and they are also performed even if they don't change the game state). The only case when both Repositions get performed is when all of the previous actions cannot be performed.

Has that ever been a problem on this forum? That’s an awful attitude to take on when someone is asking for help.

Also just to clarify regarding the Imperial Rule: it’s only used for breaking ties. So as @a1bert indicated, multiple figures to meet criteria at equal distance is an example (and probably the most common one).

Ok so mainly the only steps you skip are the "if" statements? Otherwise it's top to bottom even if it means nobody is getting attacked that turn.

I always just assumed would skip skip steps to ensure somebody gets hit.

You skip the instructions that do not change the game state (whether there's "if" or not), except you never skip Reposition, and you only skip Engage if it cannot be fulfilled (not skipped if it is already fulfilled and doesn't change game state). In addition you skip instructions that have action costs that you cannot pay.

I think those two are the exceptions, but double-check from the rules.

(You don't perform the instructions out of order to be able to attack. Most often the figures can attack a rebel figure.)
