ramming and being stuck on asteroid

By lavishinferno, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

so me and a buddy where playing a match when his vic 1 landed on a asteroid he takes his damage we move on next round he rammed my vic 1 both going speed 1 by the way and he cant move does i then asked if he takes 2 damage cards one for ramming and one for being on a asteroid the rules say when you overlap one but nothing if you stay on it i said i think he should he said he didnt think so we ended up ruling that he does take 2 cards but i was wondering if thats the right ruling?

He will take a face down card first from the ram then end his move on the asteroid which will resolve the overlapping an obstacle so then a face up damage card will be dealt.

Ramming occurs during the move and overlapping occurs after the move.

thank you Lyraeus i thought thats how it work but both of us are new to armada and he pointed out the rule book says when you overlap but nothing about overlaping so going based on RAW he would not but RAI says he would and thats what we where stuck on

He still moved, just to the same place (on the asteroid) (just like squadrons can move without physically 'moving'), so yes, gets another card.

Well it is order of operations really.

During a move you resolve the overlap of another ship and after the move you resolve obstacles.

So you can run someone over take the damage card for it then land on the station and remove said card.

He completed a maneuver (in which his speed was temporarily reduced to 0.) At the end of his maneuver he was overlapping an asteroid.

The same applies if he used a Nav command to actually reduce his speed to 0. Even though he isn't moving he is still completing a speed 0 maneuver, so any relevant overlapping rules (for better or worse) still apply.
