(solved) Order Hit and playing Command Cards on Hostile Figure

[Polda 4,281]

Quick question:

If I use Order Hit with Jabba to say make my opponent's HK attack one of his other figures, can I boost the attack with my Command Cards (Assassinate, Though Luck etc.)?

Order Hit doesn't temporarily control the figure like other cards. Here, the figure interrupts to perform an attack, so the current controlling player(opponent), will attack your unit if possible.

Well that's boring

There's actually more than that

1. You cant make the enemy HK attack his own figures, because you don't mind-control the enemy figure (cannot declare friendly units as target, see Murne for mind-control wordings)

2. Note the "may interrupt". In the case where it'd be better to not shoot at all (ex. Hangar Bay, Greedo map) the opponent can simply choose to not attack

Why would they choose not to attack?  They'll just attack your guys.

So no, you can't play command cards for attackers when your opponent's figures attack.

If your figure is focused and a better target that wins you the game is not in your line of sight, you might pass on getting the attack and are satisfied with the opponent spending 2VP.

That, or I was thinking more like Greedo or Hired Guns will make you pay. All these cases very rare. Even rarer... giving Order Hit to an opponent's figure.

Did you edit the title for the thread? If so, that's interesting because I thought we couldn't do that before

[Majushi 1,127]

Only reason to order another opponents figure to attack would be in a 3 or 4 player game.

If you were to do that, and the figure kills the target. Who would get the VPs?

[a1bert 4,115]

The player who defeated the figure gets the VPs. (Except if you defeat your own figure, you give the VP to an opponent of your choice. But that does not apply here because you can't attack friendly figures.)
