So..

If Lt Blount fires his assault missiles at Howlrunner with Stealth Device in the middle of a 6 Tie Swarm at range 3 and either misses with all shots or Howl evades what happens:

a) Howl loses Stealth and the surrounding 5 Ties all take 1 damage each

b) Howl loses Stealth and the surrounding 5 Ties take no damage

c) Something else

I would have thought option B but after reading the cards again (as much as it doesn't make sense) I'm thinking it could be option A..

A is correct.

It's option A. The attack is hits so all effects that are dependent on the attack hitting will happen.

Wow.. Thanks guys.

Looks like Lt Blount will be right up there in Tourney list building to counter the popular swarm and stealth builds.

Cheers

He also works pretty well with Ion Pulse Missiles as that will even do the 1 damage regardless of dice roll. He doesn't even need a missile to get rid of Stealth on ships. Lots of cool options, should shake the meta up some.

He is costly though. (balanced imho)
