Some miniatures in Star Wars: Legion have notched bases. Units on notched bases follow all of the rules detailed in this section.
Miniatures with notched bases have a number of additional movement options available to them:Some miniatures that have notched bases can pivot. If a unit can pivot, it is noted in the rules for its unit type.When a unit that can pivot performs a move action, it may choose to pivot instead of performing another movement.To pivot, rotate the unit leader’s base up to 90° to the left or right, keeping the center of the base in the same place. If a unit contains multiple miniatures, each miniature in the unit must pivot so that the directional orientation of its base is the same as the unit leader’s.Some miniatures on notched bases can reverse. Only certain unit types may reverse.When a unit performs a move action, it may choose to reverse instead of making another movement. When performing a reverse, follow the normal rules for moving with a notched base with the following exceptions:- When performing a partial reverse, instead of placing the movement tool wholly in the front notch of the unit leader’s base at the start of a move, place the movement tool wholly in the rear notch.
- When performing a full reverse, instead of placing the movement tool in the front notch of the unit leader’s base, place it in the rear notch. Then place the front notch of the unit leader’s base on the other end of the movement tool.
- While reversing, a unit reduces its speed by 1 to a minimum of 1.
Miniatures with notched bases have four different arcs represented by lines sculpted on their bases: front, two sides, and rear. These arcs are referenced by certain rules, such as the Fixed and Weak Point keywords.
