Task Force Organa

By Elthorr, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

Have a question about TFO. I'm planning on using 2 hammerheads as anti squad flankers with flechette torpedoes and Ord Exp, in conjunction with my MC 80 Battle Crusier and Neb-b Salvation. Once I'm able to activate TFO, my plan is to place a copy on the Neb and MC-80. My question is, do I have to re activate each round after the first use or does the card stay with the ship until I deactivate it or the hammerhead is destroyed?

Also on a side note, if the originating Hammerhead is destroyed while TFO is active, does it's affects end with the destroyed ship, or until the end of the round?

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by it. You mean put a copy of TFO on the Neb and the MC80? 'cause you can't do that, TFO is a Title only for the Hammerheads.

Regarding the use, it's not always active, you have to exhaust a copy on another Hammerhead with TFO at distance 1-3 of the one you're attacking with to reroll dice. During the Status phase TFO becomes ready and to use it again on next turn you have to exhaust it again given the right conditions. I think this answers as well you final question as you have to trigger the effect (by exhausting the TFO on another Hammerhead at distance 1-3) to use it at that specific moment

Thanks for the clarification. I took the wording "another friendly ship at distance 1-3" differently, not thinking about it being a title.

In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, "DOHHHH"

Thanks again.

Another question, Would I be able to use the effect on multiable squads or just a single squad?

TFO doesn't work on squads, only on a Hammerhead with the TFO title while you have another Hammerheaad with TFO at distance 1-3 and exhaust the copy of this last one

Would I get to use the re roll against squads with my anti squad die? Example would be, I have both of my HH's in AA range of a swarm of tie's. I attack the swarm and activate TFO would I get the re roll on on each squad I attack, fishing for the crit to activate flechette torpedoes? Or just one squad? Or can't use it against squads?

That I can answer:

1) You can use Task Force Organa against Squadrons, for sure. The only requirement is to attack. That doesn't have to be a ship, it can be a squadron. However:

2) You get the reroll for a single anti-squadron attack... As per the FAQ, every time you 'go back and shoot another squadron', it counts as a different attack for Upgrade Card Purposes.

3) You're still allowed to attack Squadrons while your copy of Task Force Organa is Exhausted. You're only restricted from attacking ships .

Sorry, I understood wrong your previous question, but Drasnighta already answered it
