Returning player questions

By VAYASAN, in Rules

Hi all, I was very active on here at launch with games and painting but have had to have a long break for 'life'.

Back into Legion now and just played v the wife...played Skrimish which suits us well in terms of time and her level of focus ;]

A couple of questions from tonight's game that we just played as we saw fit to keep things moving...to check after:

1- Luke is engaged with Boba. He plays Son of Skywalker. He attacks Boba, then uses his Son of Skywalker Atack killing Boba. Question- Does he now have a free 'move'...we moved him and it took him into base contact with a ST unit...can he now attack the ST unit too(3 attacks in that turn). Note, he moved into contact with the situation below in no2.

2- Luke Moves towards 2 ST's holding an objective on last turn. He reaches the trooper model. Does the Leader who is just a few cm from Lukes base have to move to be engaged with him(moving him out of base contact with the objective)?

We played Luke did get 3 attacks..but the ST leader could stay in contact with the objective(winning the game for Imps).

I'm justy going to copy and paste my answer from Facebook if someone else with similar questions sees this in the future.

1. The move isn't "free." It's just his second action of the two he gets every activation. He will NOT get a third attack, since he can only take one attack ACTION per activation (in fact, you can only take one of any action in an activation, with the solitary exception of move actions). Son of Skywalker gives him another ATTACK, not attack ACTION, so that's why he can can get another attack in that instance.
2. You need to follow the steps of starting a melee on page 52 of the RRG. The short answer is that every model of the unit that that he got into base contact with (that will fit) needs to be placed in base contact with Luke.

Thank you (again).

Seems harsh the ST leader has to move from the objective on the last turn missing out on the win 😙
