TEAM BUILDING & PRE-GAME

Q: How many figures can I have in Backup?
A: Your Backups can have up to half the number of points as used in your starting team. So a 100 point team, can have up to 50 points in Backup. [HASBRO]

Q: Can I start my figures up already in formation?
A: Hasbro's rules require a straight line, two Tix from the end of the table or play area.

Q: Can I play multiples of the same named characters?
A: Yes, you can play with one, three, five Vader #16s. There is no limit to this in play. However, you may only have one Tournament/Trophy Figure per team. [HASBRO]

MOVING

Q: Can I move my figure a bit, turn its base around, then keep moving it in the same direction? Or move it in a curve? Or have it do a little dance, as long as I've got enough Tix to do the dance?
A: You can meander along, or move forward a few ticks-turn in a 900 degree rotation if you want to and keep moving. It's all about strategic placement. [HASBRO]

Q: Can I swivel/rotate my figure's base before an Attack?
A: Yes, you can rotate before you attack as long as the base does not gain or lose position, and you do not touch any other figures while moving. [HASBRO]

Q: Must you move all of your figures before you start attacking?
A. Yes, it is a strict Move phase then Attack phase. However, you do not NEED to move every figure, but it you do intend to move them it must be done before your first Attack. The Gunship's rules are the only exception. [HASBRO]

Q: Can I move my figures in any direction I want? Or do I have to move them in the same direction once I start moving them?
A: You can move figures in any direction you want at any point during each figure's movement. [HASBRO] For example, you could move a 12-Tix figure forward 2 Tix, turn it around 180 degrees and move it in the same direction 2 Tix, turn it around 90 degrees and move it in a perpendicular line for 6 Tix, then turn it around 540 degrees and move it a final 2 Tix, if you so desire.

Q: Do I have to move in a straight line?
A: No, you do not have to move in a straight line. You can turn as you move, or pivot around at a certain part during your move. Attacktix is all about strategic placement. [HASBRO]

ATTACKTING

Q: When do you reload missiles?
A: You reload your missiles at the START of you next turn. [HASBRO]

Q: Can I use throw my own characters at others?
A: Sure, Hasbro says that you are allowed to attack your own team. Since this is the case, you may attempt to use Wookiees to hurl figures into your opponent.

SPECIAL POWERS

Q: When exactly does a Special Power activate?
A: Special Powers activate immediately, no matter what the current phase is. Special Powers can also be nested, so if on Attack 1: Figure A kills and activates Figure B's power, Figure B can attack Figure C. If Figure C is also active, it too, may attack. Then the original player make make its second attack (Attack 2).

Q: If I want to use an Attackback or Shootback power with a figure who has already shot its missile, can I reload its launcher to use that power?
A: Yes, you may reload a figure's empty launcher to use an Attackback or Shootback power; the figure's launcher will still be empty if it gets attacked again, and this special power overrides the general "reload at the beginning of your turn" rule. [HASBRO]

Q: Do I need to grind my figure before I use my Recover Special Ability?
A: Yes, you must regrind your figure before he comes back into play. [HASBRO]

Q: If I kill multiple figures in one shot or strike, who decides the order of special power activation?
A: The person whose figures were knocked over decides the order of special power activation. [HASBRO]

DEFEATING

Q: Must you always knock down both targets for a valid kill of a Mega figure?
A: Hasbro plays any kill is a legal kill. [HASBRO]

Q: If a figure is half on/half off the table, or the "out of bounds", is he dead?
A: Officially, If he can still roll a Tix he is alive. If any part of the base is lifted up or the wheel is hanging over the edge, he is defeated. Leaners are dead as they can not roll. But a good rule of thumb is that if his wheel is still fully functional he can still fight the good fight. [HASBRO]

Q:On the first turn, a player with a launcher figure attacks and knocks an opposing figure (that has not had a chance to move) back to where part of the base touches or goes over the back out-of-bounds line. The figure does not fall over. Is that figure considered defeated?
A: As long as the figure is not knocked over, it is not defeated. On the next turn make sure to direct the figure back into the game arena. [HASBRO]

FIGURES & ACCESSORIES

Q: What are the rules for the Battle Case?
A: Battle Case rules

Q: Why do some Attactix figures have a silver/chrome base?

Q: Will I be able to buy Series 1 Attacktix after Series 2 is released?
A: No, Series 1 will be retired with the release of Series 2. You may see some repainted figures, or variations of old

Q: If my Emperor (1-24) falls off while Possessing is he still alive?
A: If the emperor is possessing a figure and only the Emperor figure is knocked over, the Emperor dies and the figure reverts back to it's former controller.
