FLOOR RULES ADDENDUM:
Activation Cap: The number of activations in a squad may not exceed 16 characters before the first initiative roll.
Bribery and Reinforcements are mutually exclusive (i.e., no character with Bribery can be in a squad alongside another character with Reinforcements), but a squad can contain multiple characters with either of these Special Abilities.
Decreasing Activations: To decrease the number of activations in a phase, a character must have line-of-sight to an enemy and no ally with Reinforcements in their squad.
Gambit: First sentence of 622.2) is changed to: 2) Occupy the map center: TEN points are scored each round that a player ends a round with a model without Diplomat that costs TEN points or more within four squares of the center of the map; ignore low objects and walls when determining this area.
Limited (sideboard) Reinforcement/added characters.
Characters added to a squad must be listed with the squad during registration. Specific characters added (Porgs, Rackghouls) do not require a list. Only CEs and abilities involving a choice of characters. For each instance, (CE, Reinforcements, Reserves, Bribery, etc.) lists of characters may not exceed the build total. e.g. 200pt constructed: 200pt max Reinforcements, 200pt max Reserves, ect. Lists of optional characters will remain concealed with a judge or T.O. until the end of the tournament. Players are not required to reveal lists of optional characters to their opponents. Opponents may request judge verification so long as it does not interrupt gameplay.
Mouse Droids: gain the following Special Ability for competitive play: Diminutive: [This character does not provide cover or block movement]
Multi-cannon shot or “double-tap” A character can only be affected once per round by any abilities and commander effects from allies that grant an immediate attack or activation.
e.g. Boba Fett can get a cannon shot once from 1 Bothan Noble in a round. A second Bothan Noble would need to cannon a different character that round.
Numbered Save Modifiers: A character only benefits from one numbered save modifier via itself or an ally at a time. Choose the source prior to the save roll. A character may only be effected by one numbered save modifier via an enemy charcters at a time. The enemy chooses the source prior to the save roll. e.g. Mettle still stacks with itself but you cannot Mettle with an Adorable Porg.
Prideful and some Commander Effects both require certain squad building restrictions to be met to activate the benefits. There are also mechanisms by which characters can be added/gained that break those conditions.
• If squadbuilding restriction are met, you get the bonuses.
• You lose bonuses if you intentionally do something to add a character to your squad that breaks the restriction. (character “replacement” effects can undo this ie Pellaeon)
• This includes TTTDS, making Rakghouls, bringing in Reserves, etc.
• It would not include losing your Nimbus (so is defeated and no longer has Independent Outfit).
• You temporarily lose your bonuses if an enemy joins your squad (but not caused by you), but you get the bonuses back if they’re defeated.
Rapport cannot decrease a piece’s Cost below 3.
Reinforcements’ Cost: If a character would bring in characters after squad reveal using a special ability whose name contains Reinforcements, reduce the cost of that character by the sum of the cost of the characters added. Perform this adjustment of cost before the 1st initiative. Characters added to your squad in this way count towards the cost of your squad. If you are scoring points for defeats, or for a tiebreaker, defeating these extra characters scores points. These characters may score victory points for occupying specified areas in scenarios that include such victory conditions. *A character’s cost is not reduced by the the special ability Bribery. (Example: In a 200pt game Lobot (UH #22, cost 27) uses his Fringe Reinforcements 20 ability to bring in Ayy Vida (BH #16, cost 19). In this game, Lobot will be worth 8 when defeated (27-19=8), Ayy Vida will be worth 19 when defeated (her natural cost). Ayy Vida can score gambit, but Lobot cannot (since his adjusted cost is below 10).
Reinforcements (Do Not “Stack”) During setup, after seeing your opponent’s squad, you may only add characters via one chosen character’s Reinforcements Special Ability. (e.g. In Jabba squads, it means no 40 points of reinforcements (only 20) or getting to lower the Cost of both Lobot and Jabba.)
Reserves (Do Not Stack) Players may only benefit from one instance of Reserves per Initiative. When a player rolls multiple Reserve numbers during an initiative, they may only add characters via one chosen character’s Reserves Special Ability that round.
Rigid Characters with Rigid lose Rigid in SWMGPA-sanctioned tournament play.
(Soresu & Soresu Style Mastery) (Evade & Rolling Evade) These abilities shall be treated as same-named abilities for the purposes of stacking. *Do not get both.
