Form Attack Pools
Form Attack Pools
The Attack Pool consists of all the attack dice the attacking unit rolls against the defending unit. To form the Attack Pool, the attacking player performs the following steps:
Summer has declared an attack with her unit of Battle Droids and ensured that the defending unit of Clone Troopers are in range and LOS. Next, Summer determines eligible miniatures by checking LOS from each individual Battle Droid in the unit. A miniature is eligible to contribute dice to an Attack Pool if it has LOS to any miniature in the defending unit. Summer determines that all but 1 of Battle Droids are eligible miniatures. Then, for each eligible miniature, Summer chooses 1 of the weapons available to the unit for that miniature to contribute to the Attack Pool. A miniature must meet all requirements, if any, to choose a particular weapon. Finally, Summer cannot choose any weapons if the Clone Troopers would be closer than the weapon’s minimum range or beyond the weapon’s maximum range.Since the Clone Troopers are within 
and Summer has 4 eligible Battle Droids, she decides to add 4 
-
blaster rifles to the Attack Pool. She gathers the dice for these weapons and places them together on the battlefield next to the defending unit.
- Determine Eligible Miniatures: A miniature in the attacking unit is eligible to add dice to the Attack Pool if that miniature has LOS to any miniature in the defending unit.
- Choose Weapons and Gather Dice: For each eligible miniature, the attacking player may choose up to 1 weapon available to the miniature to add to the Attack Pool, along with any weapon keywords that weapon may have.
- A miniature must meet any requirements to choose a weapon.
- A miniature may only add a weapon to an Attack Pool once throughout the entire attack sequence.
- Weapons provided by a
, 
, or 
upgrade or Command Card can only be used by the miniature indicated on the card. - A weapon cannot be chosen if the defending unit is at a range less than the weapon’s minimum range or greater than the weapon’s maximum range, as measured from the attacking unit leader to the closest miniature in the defending unit.
- A Ranged weapon cannot be chosen if the defending unit is in Melee with the attacking unit.
- An Attack Pool cannot contain both Melee and Ranged weapons.
- An Attack Pool can consist of different weapons.
- All weapons with an identical name must go in the same Attack Pool and cannot be split among multiple Attack Pools.
