Did Biggs change? Or was that my imagination?

By JJFDVORAK, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Was there a change to Biggs regarding TL weapons? Or did I dream that?

Ages ago (in X-Wing time), but it wasn't Biggs that changed but how targets are declared, based on the timing chart in the FAQ. Since you can choose your weapon, if you have a TL on someone other than Biggs, and you need the TL, you don't need to shoot at him.

Quote

1. “Declare Target” step
i. Measure range to enemy ships and check attacker's firing arc
ii. Attacker chooses weapon
iii. Declare target of the attack
iv. Pay cost to perform the attack (if applicable)
v. Target of the attack becomes the defender

Yeah, FFG did a complete 180° swap on weapon selection and Biggs. The initial ruling was you had to select a weapon that could target Biggs. As Slugrage says above that changed.

Thanks for the info.
