So does Trick shot trigger with Tactical Jammer? Not sure if there is any squads that can exploit this effectively. I was thinking of this squad:

Contracted Scout (25)
Intimidation (2)
Intelligence Agent (1)
EMP Device (2)
Tactical Jammer (1)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Trick Shot (0)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Trick Shot (0)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Tansarii Point Veteran (17)
Trick Shot (0)
"Mangler" Cannon (4)
"Heavy Scyk" Interceptor (Cannon) (2)

Throw the bumpmaster in and blast away with the trailing Scyks.

Your opponent would need Tactical Jammer for it to work. Tactical Jammer only obstructs enemy shots.

Yes, it would trigger if the attack was obstructed by Tactical Jammer. But the Jammer would have to be on your opponent's ship...

I had to Google to figure out what Trick Shot was, for anyone else that's curious:

Translation from German: "When attacking you may roll one additional attack die if the shot is obstructed."

It's been spoiled on the UK facebook groups now too.

If spoiled is the right word for a set that's been released...

I haven't gotten HoTR yet. Is the translation that I posted correct?

"When attacking, if the attack is obstructed, you may roll one additional attack die' is the English wording. Same in meaning.

Derp. Yeah I misread Jammer. I've never actually used it.

Nobody does because it doesnt work on the ship its on and ALL large ships are 99% of the time the primary target, not the small ship behind them. Either because theyre deadlier or just flatout easier to remove.

Trick Shot + Tactical Jammer
