Marksmanship Action Card Question

By Waddlez, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Sup guys I have a question. I am wanting to run Youngster in my TIE swarm when I get him and was wondering how Marksmanship would work.

When do you have to decide if the TIE's within range of Youngster are going to use Marksmanship action. Is there suppose to be a token or something like the focus/evade/target lock tokens to show the ship is doing the Marksmanship action?

Can a ship thats in the Swarm with Youngster say dropped a Evade token, but when attacking comes can he use youngsters marksmanship and get rid of the evade or does every tie swarm that wants to use marksmanship have to declare they are using it in the "Perform Action Step"? How do you keep track of whose doing the Marksmanship action if theres no token?

The list I want to run is

Soontir Fel

PTL

Stealth Device

Autothrusters

RGT

Howlrunner

Elusiveness

Youngster

Marksmanship

Epsilon Squadron Pilot

Academy Pilot

So if it does end up being you have to declare if you're using Marksmanship as action I would most likely use Marksmanship on everyone except Howlrunner who would prolly want an evade?

Each tie can use the action on youngster's EPT as there own, so whenever a tie goes to use an action you can measure to see if your in range of youngster and if you are you can use his card, marksmanship in this case.

I personally made a special token specifically to indicate marksmanship was active. I know others have done so as well. A lot of people put the card itself next to the ship to remind them, that probably won't work with youngster in the mix though. Others just try to remember.

Thanks bro that helps a lot. I will try and come up with marksman tokens. Do you think this list would be viable?

Marksmanship produces no tokens although finding some way to mark that it is active for the round could be helpful. Some have altered Focus tokens to represent Marksmanship's activation as it is often seen as a super attacking focus.

If another ship is going to use Marksmanship from Youngster it would declare the intent to use it, measure to make sure it is range, and then either perform the action or move on to something else if not within range.

Marksmanship is only useful to the ship that utilizes the action.

No idea really. I kinda suck at critiquing lists.

You have soontir though, so it aint bad.
