No, it doesn't hold water under the current rules and the current errata, even if it is quite logical. But I admire your tenacity for trying to argue what you and I feel is probably how it should be.Fold. I'm out of chips for this one. For anyone who isn't sick of my posts, here's fat hole I never filled in my own argument:Move Ship as a substep of Execute Maneuver, comes after Reveal Dial.
It really is that simple, but I was trying to explain why the effect of the rule could be applied to the entire Activation Phase for the ship in question. Doesn't hold water.
When players with U-wings discover this loophole, it's going to get thoroughly abused and argued about over tables around the world. My only hope is that FFG errata the card to read "... execute a [stop] maneuver..." instead of "reveal". Although, it will probably be a few weeks after the whole wave is released before we get an update to the FAQ.
The problem with that errata you're suggesting is this:
- You're on attack mode.
- You reveal and execute a 0 red stop
- After the maneuver is executed, you flip the pivot wing title
- Still at the "after executing a maneuver" window, you turn your ship 180°
- Then, at the same window, you go back to attack mode.
I think that's why they worded that way in the first place
But that would end up in resolving an upgrade more than once during activation. But I see what you mean. Something needs to be done either way.
