Hi, all!
Not sure how often this has come up, but yesterday we were doing a pretty good sized (300pt) battle where the UEDF side had Max, Miriya, and another VF-1S (ie: 3 officers).
Near the tail end of the battle, only the officers were left, and kept getting Battlepod kills while in LOS to each other.
So, does that mean that three officers with LOS would generate 2 free attacks for each kill, or is it one additional attack per turn, period? And can that additional attack be used for a Rapid Fire GU-11 attack without paying the additional command point, or would it have to be another weapon system? (IE: The VF-1S kills a battlepod with LOS to Miriya, she already fired her GU-11 this turn, so she uses the free attack to fire her head lasers.)

1 kill generates 1 extra attack. That attack is assigned at the time of the kill. If assigned to a mecha that has already activated, it gets the attack the next time it activates.
Max makes a kill and Myria and Dude both see it. You choose to give the attack to Myria. On her activation Myria makes a kill the Max and Dude can see. If you asking it to Dude, he has an extra attack when he activates (later this turn). If you assign it to Max, he has an extra attack when he next activates (which will be the next turn, assuming he survives that long).
I hope that is clear.
The extra attack can be any legal attack. So, you can rapid fire your GU-11 or use the GU-11 once and another weapon system. Neither would take a command point. In Battloid mode, you could pay one command point to fire the GU-11 3 total times... because that weapon has a special ability in Battloid only...

Hmmm... Can I assign multiple free attacks to the same officer?
Like in the above example, Max makes a kill and Myria and Dude see it. I assign the free attack to Myria. Next I activate Dude and make a kill which both Max and Myria witness. Can I assign the new free attack to Myria too (giving her 2 free attacks when she activates next) or do I have to give it to Max?

You can assign them however you want. So Myria can get all the attacks and re-roll those misses to her hearts content... Do it with Fokker he generates a ton of command points and never uses any! (free attacks you give him and free dodges in his ability)
