So a debate sprang up in a game last night. The debate is this can a unit use one action to attack an enemy unit, wiping them out, then use the second action to move and engage a secondary unit? What occurred was that a unit of 3 wookies were engaged with a shoretrooper unit. The wookies activated and as the 1st action attacked and killed the the shoretroopers. Then as the secondary action, the wookies moved to engage Krennic. Is this a legal move? or legal simply because the wookies have charge? or an illegal move? I recall reading a FAQ or thread or something that stated the rules changed to where if you use a move action to move into base-to-base/engagement, you must be eligible for an attack action as the next action. Basically, you cannot engage a mini to simply tie them up. I honestly couldn't recall the ruling on this. Can anyone help please?!

Hmm, I’ve never heard of any such FAQ or thread. What you wrote is perfectly legal.

In fact, it’s often a good strategy. When playing breakthrough, I often have a “goalkeeper” unit that hangs back and double moves near the end of the game to engage a unit and keep them out of the scoring zone.

ok thanks!
