Wes vs Red Ace

By TgLoki, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi I have just got my hands on the Rebel Transporter and I am loving all the x wing pilots and astromechs however I come across this little problem.

At the end of an attack Wes Janson can remove a token from the defender. Red Ace when a shield is removed gets a free evade token. So which activates first?

My initial thoughts are Red Ace gets the evade token as the player is removing the tokens so the attack has not yet finished. Once set then Wes can activate and immidiately remove the new evade token. Is that right or do they activate at the same time and it comes down to pilot skill so Wes goes first and therefore cannot remove the new evade token?

Thanks in advanced.

Your initial thoughts are correct. Red Ace triggers during the attack and places the evade token, then after the attack, Wes triggers and removes it.

Also, when any abilities activate at the same time, pilot skill is never used to resolve it. The player with initiative resolves his abilities first then the player without initiative resolves his abilities. Pilot skill is only used to determine initial placement on the play area, and after that it's just the order for the Activation phase, and (reverse) order for the Combat phase.
