Misc. questions

By Intys Rule, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Turret and Tactician

-- I have Tactician in a Decimator. He only stresses the enemy if that enemy is 1) at range 2 and 2) in the front arc, correct? So if the enemy is at his 5 o'clock position, range 2, he can fire on that enemy but Tactician will not trigger, is this correct?

-- I have Tactician in a Firespray. He stresses the enemy if that enemy is 1) at range 2 and 2) in the front or rear arc, correct?

Just trying to wrap my head around Tactician again.

Dauntless

-- So I can hit someone, still do my action, but receive a stress token in return? Am I reading it right? However, the action is still limited to what is listed on the action bar, yes? (Just clarifying this due to some player)

Stay on Target

-- I know with Navigator, if you had your dial set for a hard (turn) 2 left, that turn is the "bearing" so you can only switch between a hard 1 left or hard 3 left if your dial has it. With Stay on Target, if you had your dial set for hard (turn) 2 left, this card will allow you to do any maneuver that has "2" on it, such as a soft (bank) 2 right, hard 2 right, soft 2 left, 2 straight, or a 2 K-Turn if you don't have any stress. Is my interpretation correct?

Fel and PTL

-- If I PTL to focus + evade, do I end up with 2 focus (focii?) and and evade token?

Lone Wolf

-- My Echo is not withing range 1-2 of any friendlies.... I attack and use Lone Wolf to reroll an attack dice. Can I trigger Lone Wolf again later during defense? Basically, how many times does it trigger? If I had Gunner, would it trigger on the Gunner-activated attack? If 3 ships fired on me, can I trigger Lone Wolf 3x?

Sorry if some of these questions are old, I've not played in a while and could use the refresher. Thanks!

  1. Yes to both. Turreted weapons ignore the firing arc, whereas the Firespray has two arcs. This is also important with Outmaneuver, Backstabber, et c...

  • Yes, except it isn't limited to your action bar like PTL is. You just get a free-action. This is particularly useful on Oicunn with Daredevil, to ram them again.
  • Yes. Moreover, if you have both, you can change your maneuver to any on your dial, and treat it as red if it was not the bearing of your original.
  • Yes. Baron Fel gets a focus token, not a focus action. If he is dealt multiple stresses in a turn, he gets multiple focii from his ability.
  • Yes. Every attack you perform or is performed against you, you get 1 free re-roll if you are out of range.

I wish we could grade answers to multiple questions like a quiz. I'd give you an A+ and a smiley sticker.

That's what we have the "like" button for :)

2. Whoa! Whoa!! Are you saying I can do an evade action on my Decimator (evade is not on the action bar)? Or am I limited to my action bar + any upgrade cards I have?

Thanks for clarification especially on Lone Wolf!

If you had an upgrade that let you do an Evade, then yes.

It does have to be an action you could take as a regular action, though. No free cloaks for you, sir!

#1 part two is incorrect.

The Firespray only has one Primary Firing Arc and one Auxiliary Firing Arc. The Auxiliary arc acts the same as the Turret Primary Weapon Icon found on the YT-1300. This creates limitations on certain effects such as Tactician only being used with the Primary arc, HLC only firing from the Primary Arc, etc. When the rules mention "Firing Arc" they are referring to the primary arc only.

No, actually. Read the FAQ.

Every single time that the Auxilliary firing arc comes up, they rule it as a Firing Arc, excepting only the lack of secondary weapons, which is established in the rules of the Firespray.

Actually, the only time the Auxiliary firing arc is mentioned, it uses the exact same words as used in the Firespray rules sheet. The small blurb at the bottom states the secondary weapons must be fired from the Standard firing arc (front arc). The Tactician FAQ entry does not specifically state anything about the auxiliary arc aside from ensuring that Turret attacks are measured from the closest point (preventing Turret ships from firing at ships using the standard arc when the closest to closest point is out of arc).

Tactician works when fired from the rear of a Firespray.

Page 14 of the FAQ, under outmaneuver:-
"the auxiliary firing arc of the Firespray-31 is a firing arc."

(emphasis is theirs)

The rules for the aux firing arc say that it cannot fire Secondary weapons unless specified. Tactician is not a secondary weapon.

Tactician also simply specifies "firing arc" and not "primary firing arc"

Refer to the FAQ entry for Outmaneuver and you'll find that the auxiliary arc is treated as a firing arc in this sort of situation.

Hrm, I missed that portion and now I feel like an ass. Ugh. Good to know where that answer is now though for future reference.

Its okay. Don't think of it as "I was wrong". Instead, think of it as "I am right" :).

And it's posts like this one that remind me that we have one of the best player bases out there :-)

Quick check.... Commander Kenkirk (if you have no shields and at least 1 damage card, AGI +1) and Ysanne -- this is basically 1 free Evade action and 1 green dice roll, right?

Indeed!

Once they have triggered, yes. Keep in mind though that you do need to be unstressed to use Isaard.

Yeah, that makes me re-evaluate Dauntless now. Do I want to get stressed to do an action, but lose out on a 4-point upgrade (Ysanne)? Or should I just drop Dauntless and get closer to having initiative? I'm thinking Dauntless can be there for those "****, I need an action!!" emergencies though......
