Devastator title - works against squads?

By mikemcmann, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

As it says...

I see no reason why not based on the wording, but just wanted hive mind confirmation;)

(Envisions crazy ISD driving around machine gunning squadrons...).

Yes, it does. Dominator And Devestator will

However, as each repeat squadron attack counts as a new attack , you'd be burning through shields very quickly to max shots at even a handful of squadrons.

FAQ, Page 1, Errata:


Attack, p.2 Step 6,

“Declare Additional Squadron Target,” should include the following bullet point:

“Treat each repetition of steps 2 through 6 as a new attack for the purposes of resolving card effects.”

For Devestator:

So say we've got 3 Enemy Squadrons in the Front arc...

Pick One of those Squadrons to get the Extra Beatdown, even if you're shooting at all of them

For Dominator:

I shoot at Squadron One, with one blue. I burn one shield to add one blue die... Pew Pew.

Shooting at Squadron Two. Doesn't matter what I've spent already, I'm starting with just 1 blue die, because its treated as a new attack for card effects. I really want this one to die, so I spend 2 shields... Pew Pew Pew.

Squadron Three really really needs to die to, so 2 More shields bite the bullet, and I power three Blues at them... Pew Pew Pew.

Then I realised I spent 5 Shields to upgrade a Flyswatter to a tennis racquet, and was probably just as effective :D

Neat. I don't see any reason it shouldn't, as written.

Yes, it does.

You sure you're thinking of Devastator and not Dominator?

Yes, it does.

Devastator

Once per round, while attacking from your front hull zone, you may add 1 blue die to your attack pool for each of your discarded defense tokens.
