Declare Defender

Declare Defender
The first stage in the attack sequence is choosing an enemy unit to attack. The attacking player declares they are performing an attack action with their unit against an enemy unit, which becomes the defending unit.Then, measuring from the attacking unit’s unit leader, the attacking player checks to see that the defending unit is at range of at least one of the attacking unit’s weapons and has at least one miniature in LOS to the attacking unit leader.If either of these conditions cannot be met, the attack or attack action cannot be made.
A droid unit at range 3 of Obi-Wan and Clone troopers.Sarah has declared an attack action with her unit of Battle Droids. The first step of the attack sequence is to declare a defender. Measuring from the Battle Droids’ unit leader, Sarah chooses an enemy unit that is in range of at least one of the Battle Droid’s weapons and that has at least 1 miniature in LOS. In this case, since the Battle Droids’ weapons are black/range-1.png-black/range-3.png, Sarah must choose an enemy unit within black/range-3.png of the Battle Droids’ unit leader that is also in LOS. Since the Battle Droid unit leader has LOS to both Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Clone Troopers, and both are in range of at least 1 of the Battle Droids’ weapons, Sarah can choose either as the defending unit.
