Miranda and TLT - How many dice again?

By emmjay, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Miranda Dona

"Once per round when attacking, you may either spend 1 shield to roll 1 additional attack die OR roll 1 fewer attack die to recover 1 shield"

Twin Laser Turret

Attack: Perform this attack twice (even against a ship outside your firing arc)....

If Miranda uses her ability, does the modification of the dice work for both shots? The reason I ask is that it seems to me that because you are told to perform this attack twice you use the red 3 attack number. By reducing (or increasing) the number of dice (modifying the attack number) should it not apply for both attacks?

I am not saying that she gets to add (or reduce) 2 shields per attack, just that by modifying 1 attack, and the card says perform that attack twice, should not the 2nd attack roll the same amount of dice as the first attack?

If I am wrong, please show me how and why, thanks.

TLT has the same wording as Cluster Missiles ("perform this attack twice") and the FAQ tells us to treat Cluster Missiles as two separate attacks. So I would assume TLT is allso two separate attacks and so Mranda (or any other attack modifications) only affects one of the attacks (unless you are allowed/able to use it multiple times per turn ofcource).

So you can attack against two different targets then as well or what's up with this? I have been in situation two times were I kill one ship with the frist attack with TLT and then I am not sure what happens with the second attack, can I chooce another target if I would be in range?

Found the answer for my question. And it is NO! Just like I was wondering..

Just one ship.

Gunner is the exception here cause it tells you to get another attack. Clusters and TLT tell you to perform the SAME attack twice (so same target)

(if someone played SW minis its the same as double attack (gunner) and twin attack (TLT).

And no you can't use miranda twice, like guys above said its separate attack after all.
