I'm unsure if this query is due to new wording with the latest 1.5.0 release or something I've simply passed over before without over-thinking, but I wanted to check opinion on this activation instruction.
The question relates to the word in bold:
Order: Another Imperial figure with a figure cost of 3 or less attacks << the healthy Rebel closest to this figure >>
Does "this figure" refer to the one doing the attacking, or the Imperial Officer giving the order? I would generally assume it to be the former, but then I thought that the officer is a cowardly type and would want another figure to protect him by ordering that other figure to attack the Rebel closest to him.
As it happened in our game, the only other figure on the board was another officer who did not have line of sight to a Rebel. So we skipped the instruction anyway.
Thanks.
