I'll let others answer your questions. The best way to take down the AT-AT is with force user with a light saber. You will get at least one AoO per turn and then your attack. It will not take long to defeat it at this rate.

try to find the rule book for the AT-AT online.
It describes the piece in way more detail.

Thanks for the feedback guys!

And jak, as soon as I read your post I immediately thought to myself "duh, why didn't I think of that right away?". Of course I soon found out that finding an AT-AT rule book online is easier said than done. So if anyone has a link I would LOVE to see it!

It's not on the stat card, but it is covered in the rule book. The AT-AT can load and unload passengers just like the skiff and troop cart, only it needs to be in the lowered position to do so. I can't find my rule book, but off the top of my head, I believe the total capacity of the AT-AT is 1 huge, 4 larges, and 12 small/mediums.

Sadly no, I was hoping the same thing when I was reading the rule book when I bought mine.

No. The AT-AT, while hollow, does not open up. Transported figures are merely removed from the field until they disembark. The cost of the other characters is separate from the AT-AT, and it's not meaningless as the AT-AT is designed for scenario play only where both sides will have well over 200 points worth of figures.

OK here's another question I thought of: Does the AT-AT get to make AoO? I assume yes but how would that work?

And again, I'm sure that's covered in the rulebook but I haven't been able to find anything online yet.

Hehe. I probably should have referred back to the stat card before asking that one.




OK, so here's another question that I think I know the answer too but am going to ask anyway. If I was using Zuckuss, Bounty Hunter and hit the AT-AT with his Snare Rifle at the beggining of the round, would the AT-AT simply ignore it's standard requirement of making 4 movement activations and only make it's 2 attacking activations?

If anyone can't tell already I am a noob to SWM (but I'm catching on fairly well). That being said can someone tell me if my take on the following likely scenario is correct or am I missing something.

OK, so let's say I have Luke Skywalker Hoth Pilot Unleashed, Ferus Olin and General Rieekan all in the same squad facing an AT-AT.

Let's also say that Ferus is adjacent to Luke HPU (to bodyguard) and the AT-AT hits Luke with it's Heavy Laser Cannon. My understanding is that I first get a save opportunity via the text for Heavy Laser Cannon. Failing that save I would then get to attempt another save for Evade via Rieekan. If he want's Luke could also spend a force point at some point during this sequence to re-roll a missed save. If all save's are failed my understanding is that Ferus Olin could decide to take the 60 damage that was supposed to hit Luke as well as the 20 damage that hit's him for being adjacent to Luke when hit by the Heavy Laser Cannon.

I think I have that sequence down fairly accurately with the exception of not being certain about whether or not Ferus gets to make saves or not and if so how many. My guess is that he would get to make 2 saves (not including FP re-rolls), one per the text of Heavy Laser Cannon and once for Evade. However I could see where the Heavy Laser Cannon would allow for only 1 save (the one that Luke makes since he was the target). Either way I'm pretty certain Ferus gets to save for Evade.

If anyone could review that sequence and straighten me out on that I would be very grateful!

I thought there might be something in there that would get me hung up. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
