BB-8 Timing

By rabid1903, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello everyone, I have what I hope to be a simple question.

With BB-8, do you complete the barrel roll before or after completing the maneuver? It says when you reveal, so I'm strongly leaning towards before; however, I want to ask the question before it comes up in a game.

Before

Good to know my hunch was right. Thanks!

Yep. He's got a baller ability.

Does that mean that if you put him on an E-Wing you could Barrel Roll twice?

(I'll bet this is covered somewhere, but I'm new and haven't seen it.)

No. You can't perform the same action twice in a round. And BB-8 states that it is an action. Unlike say, Soonter Fel, which just assigns a token....

"Baller" is U.S. slang for "Awesome"

BB8 is also a football with a hat.

Ok, I'll admit I'm getting too old for modern slang. Heck, I have trouble with the King's English!

It is?

Not a term I've ever heard before.

I just assumed it was British slang for some soccer related something.

Por que no las dos?

From Urban Dictionary: "A thug that has "made it" to the big time. Originally refered ball players that made it out of the streets to make millions as a pro ball player, but now is used to describe any thug that is living large."

BB-8 has made it to the big time of X-Wing combos :P

Possibly because it's been the Queen's English for the last 63 years, maybe? ;)

Yeah but she doesn't say much. Just smiles and does that very elegant wave. I'll stick with the King's English for now. Too late to consider changing horses mid-stream.
