Chewbacca Crew Card Timing

By Funkleton, in X-Wing Rules Questions

When you are dealt a Damage card, you may immediately discard that card and recover 1 shield. Then, discard this Upgrade card.

According to the wording of the card, this effect will trigger immediately upon receiving a damage card - therefore If I have more than 1 uncancelled hit or crit result after an attack and have no shields, I could presumably discard the first damage card and recover a shield, then remove the shield to resolve the second uncancelled hit/crit result.

Correct?

Yup!

Yup!

Thought so - thanks

Geez, thought this was an easy game. I guess it is if you follow the rules on the card and forget about putting everything in order, then it all works out.

For the most part it is pretty straightforward - most of the time if you do what the card says, and you don't do what the card doesn't say you're golden.

but there are one or two "because rules" rules and a few "breaking the rules" rules too so it never hurts to get a second opinion :)

This one is also about how you process the damage. On page 16 of the rulebook under Suffering Damage, it says: "When a ship suffers damage or critical damage, it suffers them one at a time ..."

So you process the first hit with Chewie, regain the shield, then process the next hit. And now you've got a nice new shield to soak the second hit up. :)

Right, this one is pretty straightforward of you read everything really closely. But if you miss any one thing in the rules then it seems like it doesn't make sense. That's the only really tricky thing in this game is remembering all the little nuances in the rules.

We need a flow chart or something. Get to it guys. :D

Note: The Chewbacca crew has an interesting interaction with Greedo.

See, Hits are suffered before Crits, but with Greedo, the first card is dealt faceup.
That means in a world where you've rolled HHC with greedo, as opposed to a world with HCC, you cannot spend Chewbacca in a way that cancels both faceup cards :D
