Silly Question - Munitions Failure crit vs Chardaan Refit

By Tenka, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Ok, its a dumb question.. I'm not sure if it has any relavence whatsoever. But for curiosities sake, does chaardan refit count as a secondary weapon? And must I discard it after receiving a munitions failure crit?

Is there anything in which that becomes relavent? Maybe something else that checks for the existence of secondary weapons on a ship?

Secondary weapons have the ATTACK header. Chardaan refit does not. And although Chardaan refit uses up a missile slot, it is not a secondary weapon, due to above, as well as it not having any attack dice to attack with nor ranges listed. It is a missile upgrade but not a secondary weapon.

Thanks, that makes sense..

The Chardaan Refit is -2 points, so look at as you remove the missile tubes and plug the holes to make the A-Wing a bit less expensive. A munitions failure critical isn't going to directly effect it as it's not a weapon. As for relevancy, apart from making the A-Wing cheaper, it really doesn't feature during gameplay.

For fun and in a game where everything goes right for you to get to this point first attack hit hit and munitions failure crit removes Chardaan Refit now your opponent's list is 102 points could that DQ him ? Now that would be a fun strategy to make work

Guess that could be another use for hotshot blaster is to save a missile, torpedo, or even an ion turret.
