OK Ackabar's (IT'S A TRAP) ability can be used by the ENTIRE fleet and just not his ship correct??? So any ship within his command radius and range will get 2 red dice on attack correct? So example I'm using an MC30c and my sides are 3 blue and 2 black. I then would add the 2 red dice to that particular side thanks to Fish head correct?

I don't mean to come off stupid. Again, I'm like hardcore Noob here and just want to make sure I'm doing this right!

Thanks gang!

All fleet commanders affect their entire fleet as long as they are on the board.

Note with Ackbar, he adds two red dice to any legal attack. However a torpedo MC30 must still be in blue range in order to have a legal attack. Otherwise you are adding two red dice to a zero dice pool!

(So dont send your admiral into hyperspace, or let them die if you can help it)

Welcome to the game and the forums! Hope you like it and stay a while

1). Ackbar's ability applies to the whole fleet all the time (as long as he's alive) - nothing has to be in "command range" of him. (I don't think there is a command range mechanic at play here since his rule doesn't say anything about that).

2). Yes, you add 2 reds to your attack roll. But conditions apply - only when your shooting from side arcs only, and only if you're already rolling dice (your attack pool). So your torpedo mc30 couldn't take shots at red dice range using Ackbar, as you wouldn't have had a shot to make originally. Add enhanced armaments (one red die out the sides) and then you're good to trigger Ackbar, giving your 3 reds at long range. Unless your target is obstructed - then you're back to zero as the one original red is taken away, leaving you no dice in the attack pool and the attack is cancelled before Ackbar takes effect.

3). FYI there is a rules sub forum where these types of questions have been asked - the search function is easy to use and there are lots of rules-smart folks hanging out there happy to help you out.

Edit: ninja'd! That sneaky Ginkapo!

Dude, I'b an Xwing guy coming to the dark side.....well....not really but....I'm liking the feel of Armada better. Don't get me wrong, I love Xwing, but this......*mind blown*

If you're thinking of the range to command squadrons as the "command range", then no. There is no limit on range for admiral abilities

Same here, I'm a recovering X-wing player. Once I found Armada, there was no looking back.
