Does that mean that for both attacks a ship affected by home one can gain an accuracy... or that it can only effect one attack?

"While" attacking, means it can only happen once per incidence of the trigger - which means attacking

So while Attacking the first time, you can only effect one die to get one accuracy.

On your second attack, you are now attacking a second time, which is a new trigger, which lets you, again, change one die...

So a "While attacking" limitation is limited to once per attack .

It would be once "per activation" if you were going to be limited to one attack.

Thanks for the quick response, I was actually in a game with a friend and your answer came before we decided to move on.

I'm still concerned that it says "while a friendly ship is attacking it may change 1 dice", suggests to me that each ship can only reroll one dice a turn... but we went with your greater knowledge :-)

Obligatory Rules Quote:

RRG, Page 5, "Effect use and Timing"
• A “while” effect can be resolved during the specified event and cannot occur again during that instance of the event.

In which case, the specified event is "attacking". It can only occur once during that attack (so you can only turn 1 die, and not as many as you want.)

Attacking a second time that turn is a second instance of attacking. Where you can once again turn one die.

And mark me - "Attack" is a special bugbear of mine in this game

I mean, let me Strawman a little here to show how the argument can and will go

If it was turn based, it'd have a turn restriction - those of those already exist, too...

All of our "while attacking" applies during that attack - but only once during that attack.

I mean, otherwise - here's the thing. If you put the restriction to "one attack" when it means "while attacking" - when does the restriction end ?

Why end of turn? Why isn't it then restricted to one attack during the game then? Or even "One attack once you've first purchaesed Home One and then you never get to use it again" because the restriction is never specifically lifted?

Hence why it is Restricted to that attack. Once that attack is over, its a new attack, its a new "attacking" trigger. So all of the "while attacking" things have refreshed.

"Once per turn" - once the turn is over, its done and ready to be used again.

"While activating" - once the activation is over, its done and used again.

"While attacking" - once the attack is over, its done and ready to be used again.

This is also why there is a caveat that every individual squadron attack in one arc (one "attack" that has many "attacks") counts as individual attacks for the purposes of upgrade card effects.
