liaison officers

By Tetrarch, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

To be honest i dont get the effect of that card.

It says before revealing a command (so i ssume before revealing the dial with a command) i can discard one token and change THAT command in to another command (depending on the liaison officer).

What is meant by "THAT" command?

Is it the token i spend? So do i effektively change the token for another token?

Or is it the command of the "till now" not revealed command dial? This would mean i effektivle can refit my command dial.

THX in advance

Greetings H

Discard a token to change the command revealed on the command dial.

Hello sir,

My understanding and how my group has been playing; is that the upgrade is refering to the command dial in both cases; where as "Revealing a Command" is explicitly referencing the ships command dail that your ship with a 'Liaison Officer Upgrade' is executing that turn, and "That Command" (note it does not say command token) is calling out the command indicated on that dial.

When all else fails to help a rule make sense attempt to look at it from the angle of 'statutory interpretation': http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statutory_interpretation

I hope this helps, Cheers!

As far as I understand it (and how I've played it):

Before you reveal your command dial, you have the ability to spend a command token on the activating ship. If you do, that token is discarded (keyword here is spend ). If you do, the command dial is changed to another command stated on the card (depending on if it is the weapon or defensive liason). Basically, the liason gives you the opportunity to always resolve a concentrate fire or squadron command dial, as long as you have another command token to spend.

About the wording: Since you have spend the command token, the wording "that" can not apply to it, since you no longer have that command token. Furthermore, a command token is NOT a command. It is a token which can be used to execute a command. Once again, the wording "that" can not really mean the token itself.

Hope that helps!

Thanks for the help
