Grenades

By zeromoon17, in Rules

Quick question on grenades, when you have upgraded a unit with grenades the Rules reference says the following:

"While attacking, each mini in a unit that is equipped with a grenade or hardpoint upgrade may use that weapon instead of another weapon on their unit card or equipped upgrade card."

I've seen two interpretations of this on the forum, one says, "Any mini in the unit may use the upgrade, but there is only one grenade so a squad of 5 Stormtroopers may only use 1 impact grenade, and the other 4 select other weapons", and another that says, "Any mini in the unit may use the upgrade, so a squad of 5 Stormtrooper may throw 5 impact grenades in one attack".

Which of these interpretations is correct?

Apologies if this has been asked before, I tried to search for the answer and was unsuccessful.

Each mini contributes the dice for the weapon that is using. So if a unit of 5 troopers (minis) is attacking and decides that all of them will be using the impact grenades, you will be rolling 5 black dice with impact 5 (as impact stacks)

If I'm understanding correctly:

A unit of Five Basic Stormtroopers and a DLT Trooper with Impact Grenades can have 4 Stormtroopers use the E-11, 1 use the Grenade and the DLT Trooper use the DLT.

However, the amount of Grenades usable isn't limited to one, but in some cases you don't want to be using more than one.

Each mini in the unit has access to the grenades. When you make an attack, you choose which weapon each mini is using. This includes grenades. If you have a stormtrooper unit with grenades and a DLT, all 6 minis can throw the grenades.

Close range Stormtroopers with concussion grenades and a DLT can be nasty. 4-5 black dice, 2 red and “blast”.
