Rex Fire support

By Inossatam, in Rules

Hello there !

I need some clarification on the fire support of rex with "call me captain".

for exempl, if a unit with a Z6, do 4 black on a unit, and 6 white on a other unit, can rex add his fire support on both ?

thx :)

He sure can! The thing that normally prevents a unit from Fire Supporting multiple pools is that they have to flip their token facedown as the cost. Rex does not have that issue! This was also confirmed by Alex Davy, the designer.

Bonus points if you get to range 1 and have someone toss a grenade to do it 3 times.

Where is the confirmation from Alex? The new rules state this on page 42

"Afer contributing eligible weapons to an attack pool, a unit has used fire support. A unit can use the fire support keyword to contribute eligible weapons to only one attack pool."

with an addendum rule added to it saying that if you can use fire support without flipping an order token you can add your dice to subsequent attack pools. Directly under the rule you quoted.

A fter contributing eligible weapons to an attack pool, a unit has used fire support. A unit can use the fire support keyword to contribute eligible weapons to only one attack pool.
  • If a unit is able to use fire support without flipping its order token facedown, it can use fire support to contribute eligible weapons to subsequent attack pools.

It was originally an “email” ruling (I think it was actually a messenger chat or something), but was then added to the new RRG. Syrath quoted it already.

Hmm I took that to mean attack pools generated by other units after the fact. Thanks folks.
