## Rules questions

### Can I pick and resolve the same Action card two rounds in a row?

No — a player may not choose an Action card that he resolved during the previous game round; keep chosen Action cards on the table until the end of the next Choose Actions Phase to remember (Rulebook p.11).

### Can I spend a Support Token to reroll any die roll (for example the Heroic Charge roll)?

No — Support Tokens can only be spent to reroll dice rolled for an attack or a defense, and only if the Space Marine is facing the attacking or defending swarm; they cannot be used on non-attack rolls like Heroic Charge (Rulebook pp.15–16).

### If a swarm attacks from behind, can the defending Marine still spend Support Tokens or defend?

No — a Space Marine may only spend Support Tokens or attack/defend against Genestealers that he is facing, so a swarm attacking from behind cannot be rerolled or defended with Support Tokens (Rulebook p.16).

### When I move a Space Marine with a Move action, do the Terrain cards or Genestealers move with him?

No — when you swap a Space Marine with an adjacent card, all Terrain cards and Genestealers remain in the position the moved Marine left (they do not move with him) (Rulebook p.17).

### If a blip pile is empty when an Event tries to spawn Genestealers, what happens?

Spawns are always drawn from the blip pile on that side; if that blip pile is empty then those Genestealers are not spawned, and if there are fewer cards than needed you spawn as many as possible of your choice (Rulebook pp.21–22).

### When we TRAVEL to a new Location, do Genestealers engaged with Marines leave the formation?

No — engaged Genestealers remain in the formation during travel; they only leave play via specific Terrain abilities (e.g., Door), being discarded, or being slain (Rulebook p.25).
