Airen Cracken's effect on mines & SLAM

By Grivoire, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi guys, Sorry if this has been solved before but I have 2 scenarios I'd like to confirm:

Scenario 1:

Miranda drops cluster mines in activation phase. At the combat phase miranda shoots enemy ship followed by Airen, who is at R1 to her. Miranda gets 1 free action. Can I drop cluster mines again, or does it have to be other bombs/actions other than bombs?

Scenario 2:

Miranda performs focus action then shoots an enemy at combat phase. Airen gives her 1 free action, which is used to SLAM into unwitting ships and drops a bomb. Receives no-attack token which will be removed at the end phase. This means Miranda can SLAM every turn after attacking as long as Airen is at R1 and shoots after her right?

1: FAQ P2 says: A ship may only drop one bomb per round.

2: SLAM can not be performed as a free action. It's at the bottom of the SLAM reference card.

There goes my wicked plans. Guess I haven't been paying enough attention to the rules. Thanks for the swift response Smuggler!

Sorry for ruining your plans ;)

Even if it weren't specifically forbidden to drop more than one bomb in a given round, Miranda still wouldn't be able to drop a second Cluster Mines in combat, because you can't take the same action more than once in a round. A different action bomb would be okay if it weren't specifically illegal.
