y-wing title

By cubby09, in X-Wing Rules Questions

im sure this question has been addressed but i cant find the thread. With the BTL-A4 title can a Y-wing equipped with a blaster turret fire it withOUT a focus token? If so can you link the rule from FAQ? cant find it there either

No, the Blaster Turret still requires you to spend the focus token.
There is no FAQ entry for this.


All the BTL-A4 title does is:

  • Prevent you from ever attacking outside of your firing arc, even with a turret equipped
  • Allow you to perform an attack with a turret secondary weapon after you perform a primary weapon attack

In no way does the title have any impact on the range restrictions (autoblaster turret is still only range 1, ICT and blaster turret are still only range 1-2), usage costs (blaster turret still costs a focus token to use) or effects of the turret secondary weapon (autoblaster turret hits are uncancellable, if an ICT hits, the defender suffers 1 damage and receives 1 ion token).

Looking at this card as well...looks like its a good one to have on the Y Wing...but is it really worth it? Seems like you can only attack with the secondary at the same target within your firing arc. Still...2 Attack plus say Ion Cannon shot?

"You cannot attack ships outside your firing arc. After you perform a primary weapon attack, you may immediately perform an attack with a secondary weapon."

There is no requirement that your second attack has to be at the same target
