stressed attack against rebel captive

By klarlack, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi,

I just wondered...

What happens when a pilot is already stressed and is now forced to attack e.g. captain kagi.

The problem is, that captain kagi has a rebel captive onboard.

Is the rebel pilot forced to take an additional stress token.

Or is this attack not allowed, which means he cannot attack at all due to captaon kagis ability?

Thanks for the help.

Stress doesn't do anything to stop attacks, and there's no limitation on a ship having more than one stress token. So the attacker would end up with two stress tokens.

As a side clarification, you're not actually forced to attack Kagi - only to select him for a target lock, if you take that action (and can lock him).

Of course you are correct. His ability only applies to target locks....

That really means you can collet the stress tokens by shooting at the prisoner every round...
