In this game does exhausting cards mean you remove it from play or you just turn it to the side until the next round and can't use it till then? I can't tell from the previews and was wondering if any of you knew.

Exhaust = Tap for that round

Discard = is removed from play for the rest of the game

Far more elegant system than in x-wing

For a more civilized time.

Couldn't resist.

One of the things I did like about Attack Wing in the two times I tried it was the fact that ordnance weren't discarded when they were used, but tapped, which you could then use an action to rearm. It would certainly make for more interesting bombers in X-wing if they had also used that mechanic, but that time has probably well passed.

Attack Wing compared to X-Wing, I now give up forever.

The difference is that one is talking about capital ships that hold dozens, if not hundreds of torpedoes - the other is a fighter that can hold a handful of them.

Yes but generally a bomber holds multiple bombs or missiles. Unless it's a MOAB, on that case it gets dropped from a cargo plane.

Yes, and the current mechanic on bombers in X-wing allows you to load up multiple armaments by using the cards. What it is simulating is firing off a "spread" of that weapon, rather than a single warhead.

Anyway, this thread is getting way off topic - yes exhaust means "tap" not discard, just like in Imperial Assault. You then can use the card again next turn.

The other one we may/may not come across depending on if FFG does anything campaign wise is "deplete" which means turn face down for the remainder of that mission. (but you would get it again next mission).

No reason remove/discard couldn't mean deplete as a house rule, which is what campaigns are likely to be anyway.
