TLT and Miranda's PA

By CMcF, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I was playing in a tournament a couple of weekends ago and I was using Miranda in my squad with TLT. At one point I shot with the TLT and then with my second TLT shot I chose to roll 1 less die to regen a shield. My opponent let me do it but told me that in the future I'd have to declare that I was doing it before my first attack and roll 1 less die with both TLT attacks. Everything I can find regarding this seems to suggest that I was ok to do what I did in the first place. Does anyone know which is actually correct, is there any concrete ruling on this? Thanks!

Your opponent was incorrect - you may choose to use abilities that allow you to roll more / fewer dice at step 2 of the attack sequence (New Rules Reference Page 5)

Twin Laser Turret is treated as 2 separate attacks with the second attack skipping step 1 (declare target step). FAQ page 13.

Therefore there are 2 step 2s in a TLT attack sequence so Miranda's ability can be declared during either (but not both as her ability is once per round)

Note that Miranda's attack being once-per-round prevents her from being able to regenerate 3 shields a turn, and be okay with that :)

Great thanks for the references! And yes I know that she only regens one shield per round and I'm perfectly fine with that :)

Okay, if not for the "Once per round" stipulation how would Miranda regen 3 shields? I can see 2 with a tlt attack but how 3?

TLT, Gunner, and a lucky miss with the second TLT shot?

R2-D2 and cheating?

I'm thinking that if the shields were gone one could be regained with R2-crew and then two from the TLT except R2 is EoT.

If not for the once per round it could be done with Chewie preventing a card and regaining a shield and then TLT gaining two more.

To be fair, the second TLT shot would only be throwing two dice, so it's managable.

And yes, this is the one I was thinking of.

Gotcha. Wasn't thinking about Gunner.

You have a devious mind. I like that.

Still just once per turn, so 2 shields with R2D2.
