Inconsistency regarding assist attacks
I was of the opinion that assist attacks (e.g. Qgj's or GS' special) are treated as one attack and not as to separate attacks. As a consequence, if you attack a toon that benefits from foresight, both attackers will be evaded. Fine for me.
In contrast, if one plays against an Old Ben led team and an assist attack is used and evaded, the evading toon will receive tm up for both toons that attacked, i.e. The toon calling for an ally to assist and the assisting toon. Also, if only the assisting toon's attack is evaded, the target will receive tm.
The latter can also be seen with regard to Doku led teams as the target will gain offence up although only the assisting toon's attack was evaded.
Finally, sth will also give tm to his allies twice while he is taunting and is being attacked with an assist attack. This, however, might be considered consistent as sth gives tm to his allies whenever he receives DAMAGE and not only when he is attacked.
In my view, assist attacks should either count as one attack or two separate attacks throughout the game.

That is exactly why leia can't be countered with foresight, instead you need dispel/ remove stealth which are rare and reason why leia is so good.
Also about assists, phasmas leader assist can hit if the 1st attack is a miss due to foresight or evade and what makes her a good leader.
Assist attacks triggering Ben twice makes sense though.
This is especially annoying for the Ewok assist attack tho, if chirpa calls all ewoks + another ally against a target with foresight, all attacks will dodge.
The assist attack should hit too.
