Free actions and PTL

By Cmacaulay, in X-Wing

If target ship with PTL receives a free action from squad leader/coordinate, does this activate PTL on target ship and allow him to perform a second action and take a stress?

Yes. Any time a ship with PtL takes an action, either its normal action during the Activation phase, or a free action, it can activate PtL to perform a second action. (As long as the action activating PtL does not give a stress token first, of course).

This one still gets me. Makes Turr really mobile after he fires. And I guess if someone had adv. sen they could ptl, do a green move, then get the free action and ptl again. As long as the same action isn't repeated. Interesting.

Which means you can also take two actions before revealing your dial with Advanced Sensors (be careful with red maneuvers!), or take two actions after shooting with Turr.

So, advance sensor Whisper with PTL decloaks, focus and evades and then do a green maneuver. Too bad he is only PS7 then...

Except PtL is limited to once a round to prevent this.

Yup. Right on the card.
