OK, here's the situation we ran into yesterday:
The Empire has used the Emperor to activate the Rebel Base system for attack. The Rebels have 2 Mon Cal Cruisers, 3 Corvettes, and assorted fighters. The Empire plays the Emperor's Action Card, According to my Design, which forces the Rebel player to roll one fewer red die and 2 fewer black dice during all battles in the first combat round.
Here's the question: when does this reduction in dice happen?
With the forces at hand, the Rebels total up (before the 10 dice limit) 8 red and 7 black. Does the Emperor's card hit that number or the ten dice limit?
My table ruled in favor of the first, which really nerfed the card for me. Fortunately, I was still triumphant.
