Baron Blade Part 1

Couple of questions from part one of the baron blade adventure. This is our first time playing so some of these may be simple. 

1) Can Unity's bots aim and dodge?

2) when bunker uses expert tactician do bots get a defense +1 token?

3) baron blade and bunker are both on a level 3 structure and there are three level 1 hexes between then. What is their range to each other?

4) baron blade and bunker are both on level 1 hexes. They are four hexes apart with a level 4 building between them. The Baron uses devious disruption (origin 0, range 6). Does the baron taken his tokens? And is bunker in range to take damage?

5) looking forward to part 2, the baron may spend 1 action to activate a blade battalion. On the card it says that the blade battalion gets two actions. Does this mean that he activates them and then they get their two actions or do they only get the 1 action that the Baron gave to them?

OK that was more than a couple so I will stop there. Thanks in advanced for your expertise.

I'm pretty sure they can

I'm pretty sure based upo na rulling on another effect, that the bots are not your ally, the player controlling them is.  Though any tokens they have may be used for either unity or her bots. Each bot does, and keeps their own stash of tokens.

24, as they are 24 hexes away from the other and no diffrence in their elevation.

All enemies, even those who wouldn't be in ranage of the attack, discard tokens.  While bunker would be in range, area attack still need line of sight to the orgin, which the elevation 4 hex blocks.

When he activates the ability, a single battalion takes a turn, using both actions.

3)  you count the hexes from 1 to the other, then add the difference in elevation.  So with three hexes between them they are 4 hexes apart, and since they are at the same elvation, 4+0=4.  Range of 4.

Question 3's answer is actually 4 range, you're on the same elevation but you're 4 hexes apart.

3-1-1-1-3

 

The other answers I agree with.

Unity's bots aren't characters, but they are allies, and will be affected by anything that specifies allies. Also, Unity can't use tokens on her sheet for attack or defense rolls her bots make; they can only use their own tokens.

Rule of thumb -- if they're a target (i.e. they have hp), they make their own attacks, have their own tokens, etc. If they don't have hp (like Impaling Structure for instance), their character is the one making the attack.

Then Proletariat, how would he work?

gaining a defense+1 token for each of his copies, or just one, since he is one target?

Proletariat is multiple targets, but one character (and one ally).
