I have some questions for command squads as I find some of the wording contradictory or at least unclear in the rulebook.
quote with bold and italics added
-------------------------------
Some of a Command Squad’s abilities are very potent. When a player activates this unit, he must announce which skill he wants to use. Some abilities also require a die roll to see if the unit is allowed to use the skill. If he obtains a hit , he may use the skill; if he obtains a miss, he cannot use the skill and he is not allowed to try using any other Command Squad skill until the next round.
The Radioman’s Relay skill is always active and does not require a die roll. As such, it is possible to use an Officer’s skill in conjunction with the Radioman’s Relay skill (since it is always active).
However, using the Radioman’s Relay skill with other Command Squad abilities is the only possible way to use more than one Command Squad skill during the same round.
A player can only attempt to use one Command Squad skill once per round. If the attempt is not successful, that player cannot attempt any other Command Squad abilities during this round.
-------------------------------
I understand that if you roll for some command skills and you fail then you can not use any other command skills but what about the the following?
Can you use 2 special abilities in one round?
1. Can you use 2 different skills such as:heal a hero/squad and also repair a walker if both happen to be adjacent?
2. Can you use the same skill twice such as heal a hero/squad for 2 hit points in a turn?

Field Repair – Mechanic (Skill)
The Mechanic can use his tools to reassemble a vehicle that was destroyed during the battle. Perform one Skill action and roll one die. On a hit result, the player
finishes the Command Squad’s activation
and then immediately activates the repaired vehicle, which enters the battlefield from its side’s deployment spaces.
-------------------------------
3. If for the 1st action there is a success with Field Repair can the player then
finish their 2nd action
by moving/attacking/healing adjacent squad for 1 hit point --OR-- is their activation
finished
and they “lose” the 2nd action before activating the repaired vehicle
followup:
4. If you succeed in Field Repair can you also use Come on Guys; We’re Going Back out there. If so how do you activate 2 units in row?

Smoke Mortars (SKILL)
The Field Officer can call in a
special Artillery Strike
-------------------------------
5. Does smoke mortar (skill) need an unactivated artillery unit in play or is calling in a “magical” out of play bombardment such as from naval guns or a out of play rear mortar?
Followup:
What happens if the Lothar unit needs to reload? Can it still fire the Smoke Mortar?
What happens if the Steel Rain unit is out of missiles? This should not count as a missile?
Thank you.
