Insofar as Ackbar goes, a critical element is that you have to choose to use Ackbar only before the attack step, and the card says that you may make the actual decision to comply at that time. As worded, I am inclined to believe that the restriction cannot possibly be in place until this decision is made by the player. However, after making that decision, QLT or any future additional attack is indeed restricted to the sides only.

Can I just state how happy I am that people are approaching this, at least so far, in a polite and friendly way despite the rather vague wording? This came about as a random thought after experimenting with Kallus in the CC, and I knew immediately people were going to be very vocal about possibly getting 2-3 extra attacks from a weird and previously unnoticed rule interaction.

Always good to see positives...

I'm sure the Ackbar + QLT status was something discussed a couple of weeks ago... I recall discussing it at least.

But the Rules Forum is very... Hit/miss at the moment.

There's a couple of 'semi-active' posts right now that are the total opposite of this one.

I think we discussed it here:

In fact there we talked about:

1. QLT hull zones

2. Ackbar and QLT interaction

3. Attack step

4. Screed "once per activation" meaning.

All those are the last rules threads opened. Where the faq is the FAQ?

FFG's presentation at GAMA is today, at 5pm Vegas time. I imagine we'll hear about Wave 6 there, and publications will follow very shortly.
