Fighters and Bombers vs ships

By Microscop, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

1. When fighter suadron rolls a critical vs ship does it count as 1 damage or 0 damage?

2. When bomber rolls a critical vs ship does it count as 1 or 2 damage (rules say that it adds 1 aditional damage)

1. 0 Damage

2. 1 Damage, because normally it's 0 damage.

RRG: Dice Icons
"Critical *crit icon*: If the attacker and defender are ships, this icon adds one damage to the damage total and can trigger a critical effect."

It doesn't say anywhere that the icon does anything at all, if either attacker or defender is a squadron.

That's how I'd read it.

If you look at Bomber under Squadron Keywords on page 12 it points out that the critical icons now "count" when attacking a ship and the squadron can resolve critical effects.

Thanks

Thought Bomber said add another hit, and that Crits also count as hits.

But no Crit card is drawn face up. The second hit is the Crit effect.

Will have to reread it now.

If a squadron is shooting or getting shot at (or both), [crit] faces do absolutely nothing.

The Bomber trait basically makes Bombers shooting at ships work the same way as ships shooting at ships.
