Listen to the new episode: https://podcast.thefifthtrooper.com/e/star-wars-legion-podcast-ep-60-the-judge/

I was listening to the podcast today (been listening to you guys, Fifth Trooper and Scoundrels, since the beginning and love both shows, really good discussion with Brendon today too btw) and I got very confused when Brendon said you can't force push out of an engagement. I couldn't find anything in the RRG that says you can't. Kyle's article says you can use force push to push units out of melee, which contradicts what Brendon said. Then Brendon said RTFC, it says right on the card that you can't, but when I read the card, unless I'm reading it wrong, I'm pretty sure it says you can. "Choose an enemy trooper unit at range 1. Perform a speed-1 move with that unit, even if it is engaged."

Is there a difference between what Kyle said about force pushing units out of melee and what Brendon said about force pushing units out of an engagement? The RRG says that a unit in melee is engaged, so they're the same thing, right? If you can't force push out of an engagement, then what does it mean when it says to perform a speed-1 move with an engaged unit? Is there an errata or clarification in the RRG that I didn't see? I feel like I must be missing something.

If what Brendon said is true, then me and a lot of people I know have been playing force push wrong for a very, very long time. I'd really appreciate some clarification because this dramatically changes the way force push can be used. Thanks!

Brendon mentioned earlier on Facebook that he misspoke. You can for sure force push out of engagement.

You know how sometimes people reply to a question with “yeah, no” and then they keep talking? That’s what he did

Oh thank goodness! I've recently discovered that I've been playing soooo many things wrong that I thought I were right. When I heard that in the podcast my brain just about broke.
