Inspiring recruit and wingman/Cassian Andor pilot ability

By Jwrein1202, in X-Wing Rules Questions

How does inspiring recruit effect abilities like wingman or Cassian Andors pilot ability if it's on a different ship? Obviously if inspiring recruit is on the U-Wing then it's the ship removing the stress. My question is what if inspiring recruit is on a different ship than either the U-wing or the ship having the stress removed? The F.A.Q mentions that a ship with wingman and Kyle Katarn removing a stress from a friendly then the ship with wingman gets the focus. Which ship needs to be at range 1-2 of the inspiring recruit ship? I think the U-Wing or ship with wingman since it is the ship removing the stress from the other ship. Anyone else have other clarification?

Wingman and Cassian Andor are both cases where the ship the ability is on is the ship removing stress, thus, that ship needs to be at range 1–2 of the ship with Inspiring Recruit.

So, Wingman or Cassian could remove stress from a ship to its left and have Inspiring recruit trigger from a ship to its right, even though Inspiring recruit and the ship having its stress removed may be out of range of each other.

I think the consensus is that Inspiring Recruit would allow a Cassian or a ship with Wingman to remove an additional stress token from wherever the triggering stress token was removed from.

Inspiring Recruit's range would apply to Cassian or the ship with Wingman and not the ship that they were removing stress from.
