Hi,

if a taun taun unit moves through, for example, an enemy infantry, displacing every mini in that unit trying to get into melee with its back point of the base, what happens first, the displacement of the unit or the melee? I mean, should the displaced unit be moved before the contact happens?

Thanks.

Hi.

You can find the order in the rules refference, on page 35, under Displacement:

1. Set Aside Minis: Any displaced minis are placed to the side of the battlefield without disrupting other minis or objects on the battlefield. If a unit leader is displaced, a player should mark its original position using a spare token.
2. Move: The ground vehicle mini that displaced the trooper minis continues its move as normal, unimpeded by the minis it displaced.
3. Place Units: The player who did not move the vehicle takes all of the displaced minis (both friendly and enemy) and places them back on the battlefield.

So in your example, if you displaced every mini of the unit, you cannot start a melee.
