If a unit has Tank and Imperial Decree is active for the turn, does it take 1 damage to kill the Tank unit per Decree, or does the Tank need to be killed manually with enough damage before Decree can destroy other units?

Answer

Ruling: Imperial Decree does not change what counts as lethal damage for might allocation. You must still assign enough damage to kill a Tank unit according to normal combat rules before you can assign damage to other units, even with Imperial Decree active.

Sequence:

  • When attacking with multiple units in one combat against a Tank unit with Imperial Decree active, you must assign all damage to the Tank unit until it would be destroyed
  • Only after assigning lethal damage to the Tank can you assign remaining damage to other units
  • To kill multiple units with Imperial Decree when Tank is present, you need separate combats (e.g., push one token, deal 1 damage and kill it, then push a second token in a separate combat to deal 1 damage to another unit)

Nuances:

  • Two separate combats can achieve killing multiple units with Imperial Decree, but one combat cannot if Tank is blocking
