I've played a few games of Armada now and have played a good number of intro games to get new players in. We're starting to do 180-pt lists now on "mock tournaments." Because of this, I've got a few questions:
1. How exactly are ships placed on the table? For example, in X-Wing, lowest PS goes down first and if PS is tied, the player with initiative puts his ship down first. How is this done in Armada?
2. A player just asked me how does Escort ability work (X-Wing ability) and I must admit I have no clue at all!
3. Are there any rules about rerolls and rerolling rerolls? For instance, I make an attack, defender makes me reroll one dice and it comes up blank. Can I reroll that dice again using a concentrate fire token?
4. Speaking of concentrate fire, if I have that on my command dial, does it work for both ship attacks? Or just on one ship attack? If I have concentrate fire, and I am firing on a squadron with my Victory ship, can I roll 2 blue dice?
5. When a ship rams another ship, if both of them are at full health and full shields, do they both get a damage card anyway or does the damage go on shields first?
6. Is there a timing thing with spending tokens? Or can I spend any number of them anytime during my activation? For instance, I have a engineering token and reveal an engineering command.... does that mean I can have 6 points (Victory ship)? Can I also spend my navigate token and my concentrate fire token? (I'm starting to love Gen. Tarkin!)
7. Speaking of engineering points, can I spend them to gain duplicate effects? For instance, if I had 6 points, can I regain 3 shields (using the 2-point effect 3x)?
8. My Vic attacks the CR90 and gets two accuracy results and I say he can't use the brace and evade... I then attack the CR90 again and get 3 hits, no accuracy results. Can he now use his brace and evade?
9. The assault missiles upgrade card --- if I attack a ship on it's front arc and the enemy's front and both side arcs no longer have shields... if I roll 1 hit on a red dice and 1 crit on a black, does he suffer 3 hits + 1 crit?
A few questions are there just to double-check and make sure we are doing things correctly.
Thanks!
