I'm glad to know that this is a more frequent problem than I thought. I think the problem is with the wording of the the rule. I've seen this a lot in other games. Casual english has a certain level of vagueness to it, and unfortunately people sometimes forget that game rules are more exact than casual english. Taking a casual approach, I can understand how they get the idea that gambit is scored per figure, but taking a more exact approach the rule should have some sort of 'for each' clause to be taken that way.

wow i can look at that I have never heard of that problem. But yes i can look into it. What is their response to you telling them the correct way to do gambit??
I honestly haven't brought it up yet because I'm there maybe once or twice a month and they get plenty of other worse things wrong. I don't want to burn any bridges so I'm trying to get these things corrected gradually, and with good backup reference.
My next goal is to correct them on the number of times force points can be spent when it isn't the force-user's turn. They think there isn't a limit.
I've been trying to come up with a more exact wording to suggest, but giving an example where one player has two or more figures in gambit might be more effective.
