Adar Tallon ability timing

By moonbeam, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

Does Adar Tallon's ability only work on squadron commands issued from the ship he is on or can it be used on any squadron that has activated as a result of the squadron command?

Cheers

Only on Squadron Commands on the Ship he is on. Activations on other Ships do not effect the Upgrades on your ships unless otherwise specified.

...foiled again...

...foiled again...

Aha! But you can help me, DA, because I was about to come back and look for a Rule that says Upgrade Cards are set to just those ships and don't effect... Help me find that precedence?

Because with the English Wording , this is one of those cards that simple says "When you resolve a Squadron Command", and then "Toggle one Activation Slider of a Squadron activated with that command."

It Could implicate a Global Effect, unless there is something in the Rules otherwise.

EDIT:

- Does this apply?

RRG, Page 13: Upgrades

• On upgrade card effects, the term “you” refers to the ship that the upgrade is equipped to.

Ergo, it is "When the Ship with this Upgrade Card resolves a Squadron Command" more properly. Correct?

Edited by Drasnighta

If it were any squadron command issues the card would say something to the effect of " when any squadron command is resolved" or "when a friendly ship activates"

I'll second the "you" = equipped ship.

Cheers guys. Missed the you bit in the rules.

This has helped show a bit of the things that shape my thought process when it comes to rules Questions...

I can quite definitively state "I believe this is the case." in an instant.

But from that point on, I'm taking on the point of view that I am More Wrong than a Warm, Flat Beer On a Hot day.

Until I am satisfied that the rules text backs up either statement.

And getting backup on that reading helps.

Absolutely:

Adar Tallon: "After you resolve a [squadron] command, exhaust this card to toggle the activation slider of 1 squadron activated with that command."

And, indeed, RRG p.13:

• On upgrade card effects, the term “you” refers to the ship that the upgrade is equipped to.

So, the proper reading of the card is:

"After the ship Adar Tallon is equipped to resolves a [squadron] command, exhaust this card to toggle the activation slider of 1 squadron activated with that command."

Thank you for removing my Paranoia, DA :)

Activations on other Ships do not effect the Upgrades on your ships unless otherwise specified.

To clarify, there's no explicit rule to that effect: whether an upgrade affects its own shipp and/or others is entirely dependent on the wording. The only restriction is the aforementioned meaning of "you", which does refer exclusively to the equipped ship.

He can only affect the ship he's on.

Handy dandy video!
