A piece has Strafe and agile -

Quote:
Strafe Attack

Card Text

As this character moves, it can attack each enemy whose space it enters; this turn, this character cannot attack any enemy twice and cannot move directly back into a space it has just left. This ability is usable only on this character's turn.

Glossary Text

Some characters with Flight also have Strafe Attack. This character can move up to double speed and attack each enemy whose space it enters instead of using the targeting rules. Roll each attack just before this character enters that enemy’s space. This character cannot attack any enemy twice in the same turn using Strafe Attack, and it cannot move directly back into a space it has just left. A character with Strafe Attack can still make a normal attack on the turn it moves, as long as it moves its speed or less. Prior to using Strafe Attack, this character must designate a legal space to end its move in. Other characters cannot enter this space while this character is using Strafe Attack.

Agile

Card Text

This character can move 2 extra squares at the end of its turn

Glossary Text

At the end of this character’s turn, it may move up to 2 squares.


A) - does it strafe on the agile (+2 squares) movement?

B) - Can it agile into a place that was not originally a legal landing space? (say you defeated a character there)

I am assuming the "legal landing space" you must declare at the start of your turn when you declare strafe is BEFORE the agile movement. Thus you could not declare a space that is 1-2 spaces over your max movement (in other words, you wouldn't include the agile)

RC discussed. This interaction has technically been possible since Rebel Storm with the Commando on Speeder Bike and Leia Senator who lets followers move 2 squares at the end of their turns. Despite that, there is no specific ruling to refer to (that I could find, at least).

Our consensus is that you cannot Strafe on the two squares of movement with Agile, because the Strafe ends at the landing space you have designated. And, since the Strafe ends when you get to the designated square, you are free to move into any legal square even if it was formerly occupied when you began Strafing.
