Maneuver Guides (Again)

By Mariozi, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Rules Reference:

GUIDES

Each ship’s base has two pairs of movement guides, one pair on the front and one pair on the back. These guides are ignored for all purposes except executing maneuvers and overlapping obstacles and other ships. In those cases, the guides count as part of the base.

FAQ:
Q: Are the movement guides on bomb tokens considered when measuring range or when a ship overlaps them?

A: Yes

So they are used for measuring range or not???

The first part you quoted talks about guides on the ship bases. The second talks about the guides on the bomb tokens.

So there is no contradiction, you count the guides on the bomb token but not the ones on the ship when measuring range for the bombs effect.

Bingo
