I played a game recently against a squad of 2 Bombers + Vader.

Major Rymer + Cluster Missiles + Cluster Missiles

Capt Jonus

Vader

My question relates to using the Cluster Missiles and Jonus's ability and focus tokens etc.

Guy Im playing against has a target lock on my x-wing at range 3 and uses the target lock to fire cluster missiles at me. Rymer's ability allows the range 3 shot due to his card text. Now the confusion.

Dice rolled 6 then used tokens and Jonus ability to start rerolling dice?? Landing pretty much 6 hits ???

Surely you roll 3 dice then if you have a focus you use it or use Jonus ability. Then you roll another 3 dice now without focus if you have used it .... not sure about using Jonus ability again for second roll of cluster missiles??

Sorry if that is confusing but its confusing me .... My Biggs walks the dogs squad that I have never lost with got smashed due to this?

not sure about using Jonus ability again for second roll of cluster missiles??

That one's legal, check the FAQ.

Cluster missiles is making 2 separate attacks. The attacker rolls 3 dice, modifies them in the normal manner with Jonas's ability and focus, defender rolls and modifies agility dice (no bonus die for range as it is a secondary weapon) resolve any damage by removing shields/adding cards. Then make a second attack, roll 3 more dice, modify with Jonus (and focus only if he still has a token), defender rolls defense dice again, resolve any more damage.

Thanks guys that clears it up

Forgottenlore has it right, two separate attacks of 3 dice each, that are rolled, modified, and defended against separately.

You don't roll 6 dice together, focus, and roll defence once. This is not correct.

Assuming you destroy the ship on the first attack, are you allowed to attack a second ship?

Nope. Both attacks from the Clusters have to be against the same target. This used to be in the FAQ explicitly, but it looks like it didn't make the new update. I wouldn't play it any differently, though.

Per page 8 of the current FAQ the attacks must be on the same target:

doh Buhallin beat me to it

Thanks! That's what I thought, but I wanted to double check.

Make sure the next time you face this that it's 3 dice attack then your defense, then 3 dice attack and your defense again. He gets two attacks, but you get two defends. If you only roll 2 defense dice against his illegal 6 dice attack, you're going to get creamed every time.

Also doubling your dice is illegal too. Do 2 attacks and 2 defence don't just double the number of dice. 6 attacks and evades is never a good thing.
