Not sure if this is a one use effect or an an effect you can use each turn
marksmanship
You can perform the action from the marksmanship card every round.
Unless a card specifically orders you to discard it you keep it for repeated use.
Note: Turn is a type of maneuver. The game is played over a series of game rounds.
Cheers for that, I'm a tradition wargamer of many a year so sorry about the turn,round thing
If you can only use an upgrade once, it will tell you to discard it (e.g. Adrenaline Rush, Proton Torpedoes, et c.).
Some upgrades require an action, which is typically only in the action step in the activation phase (e.g. Marksmanship).
They can also be used whenever you would receive a "Free Action" outside of that step (e.g. Lando's pilot ability).

Careful with these, as some of the cards that provide a free action limit it to a free action shown in the action bar. Lando is one of those and would not allow you to use Marksmanship as a free action. Some upgrades instead add an action icon to the action bar (e.g. Engine Upgrade) and would work with Lando.

Tweaked that a little. As far as I know right now, Squad Leader is the only ability which will currently let you pass (or even take) an unrestricted free action. All the others require it to be an action which is on your action bar.
some of the upgrades say "add this action to your action bar" so they will be useable with those abilities. I don't have my cards to hand to say which ones say it but there is definitely some that do
edit; just noticed this was already said. Sorry
Edited by SkindogAll the others require it to be an action which is on your action bar.
The Z-95 pilot Arien doesn't mention action bar, so that's a 2nd one.

Looks like I missed a preview somewhere 
Wait, is there an argument being made that, for example, Squad Leader would allow you to take a barrel roll, even if you were in a ship without a boost action or an Engine upgrade??

No. But someone above mentioned using passed actions for Marksmanship, which actually presents a limited set of options.
Oh ok thanks, I see what you're saying. He limits you to your action bar, versus actions on upgrade cards. Interesting.

Just in case you didn't find it yet.
Thanks - Google found it for me. I figured someone had deciphered a preview image somewhere. Imagine my surprise when I landed on an actual FFG article 
It was both - FFG put one up AND someone found a bit of additional information in a Gametrade article.
back to the marksmanship card:
if you use it with e.g. Han and Luke (as crew) - my buddy says that if you have used it on Han to change focus to one crit and rest regular hits and they don't hit, you can use it with Luke, yet no crit (as you have already changed one to a crit). I say with Luke you start over - one crit and the rest regular.....
what say you?
Edited by jedidudeThe effect works on every attack. That means the complete effect. Including the crit.
danke mein Freund! das hab' ich auch gesagt
thanks dude.....just what I said....
