Tantive IV and new Wookie gunship crew

By baxio, in X-Wing Rules Questions

So if I equip Breach Specialist and Wookie Commandos to a CR-90 (would have to be the fore section using the Tantive-IV title for the commandos), can I only use that card on the section it is equipped to?

The nearest comparison I can think of is R2-D2 crew, and that is restricted to the section it is equipped to

Thanks,

Dan

While you probably WILL be right, it would be delivered as an FAQ answer, and until then I say you can affect either section.

Interestingly, the old FAQ (which is no longer current, whilst the current one has had almost all epic references removed) which states that R2D2 crew only affects the section it is on, also states that WED-15 does work on either section.

So, there is precedence for either interpretation and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any official clarification. Toss a coin at the start of play?

Until and unless there's a FAQ to the contrary, the rules do not support limiting either card to a section.

IIRC in general, the only Epic cards that are limited to one section are those that say "Action:", in which case you can only take that action with that section, but the result of the action can affect either section.

Good point, I forgot about WED. I've remembered IG-RM Thug Droids and Dash Rendar too, I'm sure there's more. Unless there's an FAQ that says otherwise, I'm guessing it's assuming it'll work with both sections
