6. Rules Changes
The following rules diverge from the rules of competitive Imperial Assault.
-
Bleeding: After an Imperial figure with the Bleeding condition performs an instruction preceded by an
or 
icon, it suffers 1 
. Then, if it has only 1 Health remaining, it discards the Bleeding condition. - Stunned: When an Imperial figure with the Stunned condition would gain movement points from a Move instruction, it gains no movement points instead. After an Imperial figure with the Stunned condition resolves a Move instruction, it discards the Stunned condition. Stunned Imperial figures cannot attack or voluntarily exit their space outside of their own activation.
-
Blast: Figures do not suffer from Blast abilities used by friendly figures.
- Massive: Massive figures can enter interior spaces.
Heroes do not recover any when they recover more 
than they have suffered. Instead, heroes can use medpacs to recover . Heroes start each mission with one medpac. A hero can use a medpac when they perform a rest action, and an ally figure can use a medpac as an action. When a figure uses a medpac, it recovers 5 and discards a medpac. The app can be used to keep track of medpacs.
Every time a hero claims a crate token, in addition to any other effects (like drawing a Supply card), the heroes gain 1 medpac.
When selling item cards during the Rebel upgrade stage, the heroes receive the full cost of the card instead of only half.
If you earn a non-unique ally, you earn both the regular and the elite version of the ally and can decide which one to bring to a mission.
Replace Leia Organa's ability Aggressive Negotiations with:
Aggressive Negotiations: Place 1 strain token on any enemy deployment group. The next time this group activates, discard the token and ignore its Bonus Effect.
Replace Kanan Jarrus' ability Force Vision with:
After this activation, instead of having the app decide the next Imperial activation randomly, select an enemy group and manually activate it. This counts as the next Imperial activation.
Some reward and skill cards that allow the Rebel players to modify threat or deployment cannot be used as written. Use these alternative versions instead.

Depending on the mission, various groups are added to the list of "Ignored Groups" to make sure they only appear where it makes sense. This includes all groups with the "Habitat" keyword but also some more groups that are tied to certain environments in the Star Wars canon.
