Mon Mothma rules question

By Kenix, in Star Wars: Armada

Therefore, the evade token produces its normal effect.

Most of us seem to agree that the card is written that way. What we're not sure of is whether or not that is intentional, if we're missing something, or if Mon Mothma will be erratta'd.

The card uses "when" as the qualifier, so I'm interpreting it conservatively as providing an alternate resolution to the evade defense token rather than an additional effect. Still worth a FAQ though.

assumng the FAQ doesn't pee on my bonfire and tell me that marshmallows now come in yellow...

That's a really disturbing visual, just FYI.

Sorry. Astomechs are not so polished as our 'Protocol' counterparts... But I do know over three million swear words...

True, but every one sounds like whistles and beeps.

That's just his restraining bolt censoring him.

Restraining bolt? Are we talking 50 Shades of Imperial Gray?

That's fanfic just dying to be written.

The card doesn't "exhaust" or "spent" and it doesn't say "instead", so yes, it's on adition to the current evade effect which you would resolve in my opinion. That being said, i see perfectly fine that some people may differ in how the rule should work or how FFG intended it to work, but it would be helpful if in those debates, instead of trying to go for the interpretation, we clarified how it works first as the rules are written first and foremost, so people don't get confused and debate rules vs interpretations.

So we all know from the Unoffical FAQ how Mon Mothma works, it is a replace effect, not an additive effect.

I am just making sure that I have been playing correctly with her all this time, in allowing to use my evade token to re-roll attacks from bombers and other strike craft.

Previously I have been holding onto my evade in the shooting phase if I was anticipating squadron attacks, from ships with black dice and bomber. I would use the evade token, sometimes burn it (which is why I am so stoked for the one card in the MC80 pack that allows the replenishment of one defense token per game on that ship) to reroll those hit-crits into just hits (or if I am really lucky, blanks. Or back into crit-hits :/ ).

Just making sure that I and my opponents have been using Mon Mothma correctly all this time. (granted, it hasn't been too much of an issue, because **** those fickle dice, but it would be nice to know that I have been using her correctly.)
