Vader, TRC, etc questions

By arrest7, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

Hey quick question about Vader and Turbolaser Reroute Circuit. I have noticed cards state clearly, spend or discard, so my question is, Do I have to discard the defense token? Or do I just flip it from Green to Red, Red to Discard like normal?

If the Card says Spend , then you follow the Usual Procedure - IE, a Green (Readied) token becomes Red (Exhausted), or a Red (Exhausted) one is discarded...

If the card says Discard , then it does not matter wether the token is Green (Readied) or Red (Exhausted), it is simply thrown away with reckless abandon.

Awesome! Some confusion came up in games today. Thanks a bunch!

it is simply thrown away with reckless abandon.

Yep, next time I have to discard a token at a tournament you can bet I will do it like this.
