I didn't understand it that way. I believe the bomb has to detonate, and before it gets removed from the table, it does 1 extra damage. Unless I'm misreading it?One neat thing about her ability is that you don't actually need to have the bomb token go off to do one damage to a ship within range 1. You could drop Cluster Mines and they will create a range 1 no go zone for an enemy until someone actually runs over them and they get removed from play.
Could be interesting to use this to hide from aces like Soontir.
What makes you think it works like that? I'm just going off what the card says and detonation is not a requirement for the ability.
As a reference, the relevant part of the card states:
"Once per round, before a friendly bomb token is removed, choose 1 enemy ship at Range 1 of that token. That ship suffers 1 damage."
Now you have to mark ownership of bomb tokens somehow...
There's a crapload of Rebel/Imperial control tokens in Armada that would work nicely for this. And there's way more in my Armada box than I ever seem to need in a match.
