Reckless Diversion

By Lightrock, in Rules

Han's 2 pip can be a little tricky, so I'd appreciate if you could tell whether I'm getting it right or not.

Let's say a full unit of rogers (7 with regular weapons and 1 with a special) are facing a unit of rebel troopers. However, Han Solo is nearby, he played Reckless Diversion and he can be seen by one (and just one!) of the droids with no cover. Depending on which droid sees Han:

1. If it's the unit leader, he can shoot at Han, who receives no cover. Special weapon droid can split fire and shoot at rebel troopers (he can't see Han so doesn't have to shoot him) and all the other droids don't get to shoot at all because they can't see Han and can't split fire either, since they're using the same weapon the leader does.

2. If it's the special weapon droid, he has to shoot at Han, who will receive heavy cover despite standing in the open, because the leader of the unit shooting at him cannot see him. All the other droids are free to fire at rebel troopers.

3. If it's a regular droid, he gets to shoot at Han who receives full cover due to the fact that the droid leader does not see him. Special weapon may be fired at rebel troopers. All the other droids don't get to shoot at all.

Am I getting this right or did I mess something up?

Correct.

Question: When attacking an enemy trooper unit that has a face-up order token while the command card Reckless Diversion is in play, can the attacking unit form one attack pool for the enemy trooper unit and form a second attack pool in order to attack a different unit?

Answer: Under most circumstances, the attacking unit cannot do so. The attacking unit, and each mini in that unit, must add all eligible weapons to the attack pool that is targeting the enemy trooper unit with a face-up order token. A unit, or mini, cannot "choose" a weapon that is not eligible to be added to that dice pool if it can add a different weapon that is eligible. The attacking unit can only form a second dice pool if, after first forming a dice pool with all eligible weapons, there are still weapons useable by the unit that were not eligible to be added to the attack pool targeting the enemy trooper unit with a face-up order token.

That’s all correct! Just a note: RD does not force you to attack with the first action. You can move first to get a better position (so that no one see Han, or everyone sees Han, etc.). Unless AI is in effect in this case.

To be even more pedantic, it doesn't force you to attack at all.
