Dash+number of cards?

By MJT, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

When counting the number of cards in my opponent hands:

When I declare an attack or when I strike the Dash?

Thanks for help (and sorry for my english)

When he strikes. Dash's ability is a Constant Effect that basically checks the conditions Constantly. If your opponent dumps his hand in the edge battle then whatever is remaining of his hand is checked at the moment Dash strikes.
