Hi guys this came up in a game today where a friend of mine k turned 2 Bwings on either side of Blount with the EPT wingman.he then wanted to remove the stress tokens from both b wings in the combat phase due to the wingman card( so he could ,as it turned out k turn again the following turn). I let it happen as the car reads " remove 1 stress token from another friendly ship at range 1" , he argued it could be done as if it was ment to remove the stress token from only a single ship it would have from said " remove 1 stress token from 1 friendly ship at range 1", I could see his logic and he pointed out that with all the multiple ways to stress ships now, you can quite easy have multiple stress tokens on a ship and wingman still only removes just one from a stressed ship.

Is this how it's played or does he have it wrong. Not to fussed either way I just like to know what it actually is

I don't know if I agree with his rationale. I mean I could just as easily argue that if it was designed the way he is proposing, then the card should read "remove 1 stress token from any ship..."

I've always played it as another meaning one ship

You can normally only use a card once per opportunity or trigger, so after triggering Wingman at the start of the Combat Phase, I would say it's done just the once. I could be wrong, though.

Yeah I know what ya mean, I guess we will just have to wait for an FAQ unless others have more insight.

The card says 1 stress token. Not all stress tokens or one from each ship. Just 1 token. That's the way I see it.

It says another ship. Singular. Not plural. So you remove 1 stress token from one ship.

Also lote it does not say 'you may' so it is not optional.

So Kayan Farlander and Ibtisam peobably should not fly with a wingman within range.

but yorr allows his ability to pull multiple, I can see both sides, but I think your right in that context. Wingman would be a bit op otherwise.

No, Yorr still only allows him to remove one stress token per opportunity.

Wingman: At the start of the Combat phase, remove 1 stress token from another friendly ship at Range 1.

Yorr: When another friendly ship at Range 1-2 would receive a stress token, if you have 2 or fewer stress tokens, you may receive that token instead.

I've bolded the trigger in there (the opportunity). Each ability can only be used once per trigger. So at the start of the combat phase, Wingman removes a stress. No other "starts of the combat phase" until next turn. Yorr's ability triggers every time an opponent gets stress, so he can pull that to him for every stress.

No FAQ needed, truly

Using the word "another" to stand in for "more than one" doesn't grok. The wording for his interpretation would have to be "At the start of the Combat Phase, remove 1 stress token from friendly ships at Range 1." Italicized change. Or, to make it more clear, it would say "from any number of friendly ships."

This.

The wording of another is there deliberately to mean that you can't do it to yourself. A ship is always within range 1 of itself, so they use another to stop a stressed ship from self-clensing (you can't be your own wingman)

Surprised no one has mentioned that FFG has already made it clear that each ability only triggers once per opportunity. It states to remove 1 stress token from another (singular!) friendly ship. It only triggers once, removes 1 stress, then is done. It cannot trigger again to remove another stress.

Edit: Nevermind, someone did already, but still! Lol

Yeah, this in no way needs an FAQ. It's clearly only one token from only one ship. Another is singular, as others have said, and from playing with Frank and Alex that's how they play it as well.

Cool works for me
