airborne elite grenade question

[thebigcurve]

My buddy and I were wondering about the AE grenade attack.

Do all of my airborne elite guys have to attack the same figure?
Or, can each one lob his grenade at different hexes?
OK, Let's say that all 4 of my airborne are attacking the same figure.
I roll for damage for the targeted figure followed by attack rolls for all adjacent figures.
What happens if my target is destroyed after just one AE attacks him?
Are the adjacent characters still susceptible?

My guess is that effectively, the grenade is thrown at a particular hex, and that all rolls involved in that grenade attack are one continuous attack.
What I am trying to say is that even if the targeted figure is destroyed right off, the attack continues. Is this correct?

Of course, if not all AE have to target the same figure, then this changes things drastically.

I sure hope that I have explained my question(s) well, because we were not too sure what should actually happen when using the grenade attack.

AE do not have to target the same figure, they just alll have to use their grenades on the same turn. They are one of the best units in the game! Hope this helps.

How we typically do it, is run one gernade at a time, pick a target, throw, resolve damage, if the target is destroyed, pick a new target. If no other targets are in range, then you are done. I think the card says you have to target a figure, not just a hex, but I could be mistaken.

You do have to target a figure.

thanks for the responses.
I fully understand that you have to target a figure.
Any attacks on figures that were adjacent to the original target would still go on because those attacks are a result of the attack that destroyed the original target.
it all makes much more sense to me now, seeings how you don't have to attack only one figure with all 4 AE.

You do have to target a figure.

There have been many times I wished that wasn't the case.
