I just played my first game - a test scenario against myself. I have 2 questions.

1. Squadron command/token - When can it be played? Does it play before, after or either moving your ship?

2. Brace - If you get hit for one damage can it be used at all? It says reduce by half, but round up. 1 reduced by half and rounded up is still 1. Specifically I am talking about fighters. Luke got whittled away 1 hit at a time!

Thanks

1. From the Rules Reference, Page 3, Commands:

• O Squadron: Resolve after revealing the ship’s command dial.

◊ Dial: Activate a number of friendly squadrons up to the ship’s squadron value that are at close–medium range of the ship. Each squadron activated in this way can attack and move in either order. The squadrons are chosen and activated one at a time.

◊ Token: Activate one squadron as described above

So reveal the Dial, then Resolve it... Even if you Reveal, say, a Navigate command, you can spend your Token now... And it takes place *before* you Shoot / Move.

2. As you said, Brace is Halve and Round up... If you're only taking 1 Damage, there's not much point to bracing...

Yup, Ace's get whittled down, it really is the only way to take them down for those with high health.
