Airen Cracken + Cluster Missiles

By Alarum, in X-Wing

My search Fu has failed on this topic.

Would he hand out 2 free actions with cluster missiles?

I would say yes. though Squad Leader on him has a longer lasting effect.

Actually, if you gave someone else Squad Leader you could piggyback the range quite a bit by having Airen have the second ship take that action, who would in turn impart the squad leader effect to a third ship. I don't know why you would need to do this, just that you could.

Yes, he hands out two free actions with Cluster Missiles.

Squad leader is unique, only 1 ship may have it.

Right, forgot about the lower pilot skill thing too, fixed it a bit.

With Munitions Failsafe as well, those Cluster Missiles might hand out 2 free actions every turn.

*Abilities resolve once per opportunity*
A game effect can only resolve once per opportunity. For example, Luke Skywalker’s pilot ability applies “when defending,” so he can only use his ability once against each enemy attack.

*Cluster Missiles*

The attacker only needs to spend one target lock to use Cluster Missiles.
Cluster Missiles is treated as two separate attacks against the same target.

I feel this supports your combo. As you could only resolve an ability once per attack, CM is treated as separate attacks.
