ca Daredevil make you flee battle?

By Krynn007, in X-Wing

Buddy does a move puts him near board edge then Daredevil is out of bounds but boosts back in

I'm thinking this ship is destroyed

I believe it only matters where he is at the end of the daredevil movement. If the movement template goes partially out of bounds it's ok as long as the final location for the ship is completely in bounds.

What happened was he did a 3 bank put him right on edge

Daredevil was half way off board and boosted back in

It was a friendly game on vassal, he thought he could do it. I didn't think he could

I was going to let it go, but he called it there anyway.

(he had Tycho and Cracken vs decimator full hp tie and one bomber)

But ya never know

Good to know either way.

He is planning on using that build in a tournament so I said best to make sure before trying that

I'm sure the answer is yes. Since it is a maneuver if the template or position after the move is off the board he gone this is also be for he takes his actions I belive so u can't boost or barrel roll back on.

If a ship leaves the board via daredevil or any other way, it is removed from play. It does not get to perform an action (in this case, boost) before destruction.

FAQ pg 17

Q: Can a ship decloak or perform a boost or barrel roll action
that would cause it to go outside the play area (and thus
flee the battlefield)?
A: Yes. If a player performs a boost or barrel roll that causes it to go outside
the play area, it flees the battlefield and is immediately destroyed.
and pg 18

Q: After a ship executes a maneuver, if its maneuver template
is outside the play area but the ship’s base is not outside
the play area, has that ship fled the battlefield?
A: No.
Q: Can a ship decloak or use the barrel roll or boost actions
to move outside the play area, then move back into the play
area when it executes its maneuver?
A: No. If the ship is outside the play area after decloaking or performing a
barrel roll or boost action, it has fled the battlefield and is immediately
destroyed.

So here is probably a rule of thumb, after moving the ship to the other side of the movement template via maneuver or action, if any part of the ships base is off the edge it is destroyed immediately before any other effects or actions.

From the rulebook:

"If a ship executes a maneuver that causes any part of its base to go outside the play area (beyond any edge), then that ship has fled the battlefield. Unless specified by a mission overview, ships that flee the battlefield are immediately destroyed."

If he's off the board at the end of Daredevil, he's considered destroyed. However, just having the template go off the board would not be enough to destroy him.

The TEMPLATE doesn't count as you having flown off the board. If any part of your base has, at any start/end point of your hoped maneuver, it has.

Except in tag-team furball, because shenanigans.

Ya I pretty well knew it.

I have the faq on my phone but takes forever to load a page.

I hope he reada this because I'd hate for him to lose a game thinking it's OK.

During the game he said he can Daredevil back in

I did correct him, but never know, maybe I misses something somewhere

Thanks everyone
