During Army Building, an army that includes a unit with the Field Commander keyword may ignore the minimum commander Rank requirement. If a player’s army contains no commander units during Setup but does contain a unit with the Field Commander keyword, that unit gains a Commander token. When a player reveals a non-commander or operative specific Command Card, they may nominate an allied unit with the Field Commander keyword to be Commander and issue Orders. A unit with the Field Commander keyword is not a commander and only counts as one for the purposes of issuing Orders with a Command Card during the Command Phase. A unit with the Field Commander keyword counts as a commander of that Faction or Affiliation when building a Command Hand.

Additionally, if an allied Unit is within 3 of the unit with the Commander token and both units share the same Faction or Affiliation, that allied unit may treat the unit that has the Field Commander keyword as a commander unit with a ? of 2.

If a weapon with the Beam X keyword is in a unit’s Attack Pool during the Declare Additional Defender step, that unit may declare up to X additional attacks, forming Attack Pools using only the weapon with the Beam X keyword, even though the weapon has already been added to an Attack Pool. These additional attacks do not generate further attacks.

Each additional attack must be against a different defending unit that is within 1 of the last defending unit declared. These additional attacks must be in LOS of the attacking unit but do not have to be within the maximum Range of the weapon with the Beam X keyword.

Units may not use the Beam X and Gunslinger keywords during the same attack.

When a unit attacks with an Attack Pool that has Immune: Deflect, it cannot suffer Wounds from the Deflect keyword.
