Just looking for confirmation that the Superior Positions objective still works exactly as the card says and hasn't been screwed around with.

For some reason, I feel like I bumped into a thread before, that mentioned in passing that squadrons no longer count in the objective and you can only score the points by attacking the rear of a ship with another ship.

I'd rather know either way BEFORE I'm at a table, with a smiling player stacking their tokens, as they inform me of another old update that's about to shaft me. ;-)

not seen that myself.... & nothing in the FAQ....

Only Most Wanted was changed in the way that squadrons do not count for the mission.

Superior position work exact as it is written. Squadron can score victory tokens by attacking the rear of a ship.

Wasn't the kind of dice 2nd player could use in Most Wanted also changed from "any color" to "any color that is already in the attack pool"?

Nope. The only change was the clarification that squadrons couldn't benefit from Most Wanted. Perhaps you're thinking of the inherent restriction on Opening Salvo, which provides worse dice to player two one?

Superior Positions hasn't been changed at all.

Excellent. Will keep that in mind as I decide my objectives for my fleet. Although, I've been thinking of tactics for various situations and Superior Positions might not be the best choice when facing them. But good to know there won't be any surprises if or when I use it. :-)

Cool. Thanks for straightening me out on that.

Yup, my bad. Typing in haste makes mistakes! Will fix.

Worth pointing out that MW is already written "any color that is already in its attack pool."

Feel like I should hide under my desk. So embarrassed.
