Clarification on Accuracy and Timing

By RJSuperfreaky, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

Hey, just wanted to make sure I was playing the attack sequence correctly.

In a game this past weekend, had a situation where the opponent attacked my flotilla, and among his dice rolled a single accuracy. He used that against my scatter. I then used my evade to have him reroll the accuracy, which then became a blank. I then spent the scatter (now freed) to cancel all the attack dice.

If I interpret the order of events during attack, this was legal. He rolled, modified, and then I spent defense tokens. Since he had no other accuracies, and couldn't modify further, the order of my spending tokens seems irrelevant. Do I have this right?

A Clarification point:

You spend the accuracy in order to lock down defense tokens.

Once Spent, that Accuracy no longer exists to be rerolled through any means. Its spent. Gone. Disappeared. Used up. Physically pick up the die and put it aside.

The net effect is, that defense token (scatter) will be locked down, and you will have to use your Evade on a different dice.

Also, timing wise, since accuracies are spent during the Modify Dice Step, which happens before the Spend Defense Tokens step, if you Evade a die and it changes to an accuracy it is too late to be used to lock down a defense token.

Thanks for the clarification! That makes sense.

No problems. This is one of the most common questions in this game.
