Joining the K-Team

By piznit, in X-Wing

So playing with K-Wings and A-Slam and I have a question. Can Cracken attack at High PS and pass the action to a K-wing who could then A-Slam and drop a Conner? Assuming you haven't done something blatantly obvious like already slamming earlier in the turn and obviously having them be at range 1

Slam is an action. Advance slams says you can do another action after you slam. Seems logical cracked can have a K-Wing do that. Provided the range and non slam action before hand.

SLAM cannot be performed as a free action according to the rules.

Ok, thanks clayburn. Says it right there on the insert card, I'm totally blind

Can Cracken attack at High PS and pass the action to a K-wing who could then A-Slam and drop a Conner?

Advanced SLAM can only be used after you perform a SLAM action, and a SLAM action can't be performed as a free action, so although Cracken can pass a K-wing a free action, the K-wing can't use it for a SLAM action. Advanced SLAM doesn't enter into this equation at all as it's timing window is quite narrow. You can only perform a SLAM action during your Perform Action step, and that's the only trigger for Advanced SLAM.

The K-wing could however use Cracken's free action to drop the Conner Net, because that's an action on it's own.

Unless the K already dropped a bomb, of course (remember, one bomb/mine per turn)
