Standby and fire support

By jocke01, in Rules

Hi

We had a situation in tonights game that we couldn't find answers to in the rulebook.

If a unit with a standby token is used for fire support, does it Keep the standby token or is it discarded?

We roller a die and played like it keeps it.

I just checked the RRG entries for Standby and Fire Support and I don't see any reason why it would lose the Standby token.

It does keep the standby token. When you fire support you don't actually perform an attack, so there's nothing that would cause you to lose it.

Cool, then we played it correctly

The question is if the unit has a standby token is because it has already ativated, so how can it fire suport if the order token is face down?

Obviously, it got the standby from something else (like Krennic's command card).
