Hi there!

We will play "Operation Take the Hill" next weekend and I have a doubt with this objective. First, let's see the text:

Quote

Secure the Drone
Setup : Place 1 objective token on the center of the
battlefield and determine 1 edge of the battlefield at
random to be the blue edge. The opposite edge is the
red edge. All trooper units gain “[Action] Reprogram
(Reprogram an objective token that is at range 1 of
your unit leader).”
Victory : At the end of each round, the objective
token performs a Speed 1 move toward the edge of
the battlefield that has the same color as the player
who performed the most Reprogram actions. If no
player performed a Reprogram action, it moves toward
a random non-player edge of the battlefield. At the
end of the game, the player whose battlefield edge is
closest to the drone is the winner.

I'm confused about "[...] the player who performed the most Reprogram actions. If no player performed a Reprogram action [...]".

My question would be: If BOTH players performed same number of reprogram actions, the drone moves to a random non-player edge then?

Thanks dudes.

Correct

Another question:

Do numbuer of reprogram actions carry over to other rounds?

For example: if player A just reprogram once, and the other doesn't, next round player A starts with 1 reprogram?

Thanks!

It doesn’t really specify, but we played it as resetting every round. Otherwise, I think the game snowballs too much.

We did it like this. Thanks pal

What happens if the drone cannot make a legal speed-1 move?

For instance, can I use an AT-RT to block the movement in one direction?

Wouldn't the drone just move around the AT-RT towards whichever board edge?

I see no reason why the token wouldn’t move through the ATRT. Ground vehicles block troopers and other ground vehicles, and the objective token is neither of those things.

But what if they ATRT was where the movement would end? Would it travel as far as it can and stop?

I don’t think it can end on top of the ATRT. So yes, travel as far as it can. I’d be inclined to treat it the same as a panicking unit, though: it takes the fastest route toward the board edge. If that means angling the move around a ground vehicle, so be it.
