Profundity Article Error

By BrobaFett, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

So in the article it says you can move a CR90 around to a flank and drop in Garels Honor and an MC30 with Raddus and Profundity.

However after reading and rereading the title I can't see it being usable within range 1 of any ship but Profundity itself. Am I missing something, or this the obligatory article error that will cause tons of grief at store tournaments when I try to tell people they are wrong.

If Raddus is on the CR90, then he brings in Profundity, which brings in the MC30.

But as written, with Raddus on the Profundity, it doesn't work. Which is an especially confusing error, since they state two paragraphs earlier that Raddus can only bring in other ships:

Quote

At the beginning of the game, Raddus can designate any friendly ship other than his to be set aside

And Raddus' card also says explicitly "1 other friendly ship".

For those reasons, though, I'm not sure how many people are actually going to try to do it. At least it's something that will come up before deployment, not midway through a game.

I could see it if you stuck PROFUNDITY on the CR90 because that is the one with the restriction. Otherwise you would have to put Profundity and Garels in hyperspace, not an MC30 and Garels. That way you could pull out profundity in range of the CR90 with raddus (wherever he is) and have Profundity immediately pull out Garels.

The MC30 example however would not work, unless I am missing something.

Mc is small, but command 2

Put Raddus on Garel's, use Raddus to remove Profundity from deploying, use Profundity to remove the Garel's with Raddus. Either you can drop (In proper profundity-Garel's order) both from another ship, or Raddus being off the board means he cannot be used to bring in profundity, and you have legally taken almost 200 points off the board allowing your opponent an easy tabling.

Either way, someone needs to do this.

I understand what you can do with Raddus and Profundity.

I am talking about the specific example given in the article.

" Or you could fly Admiral Raddus aboard the Profundity , race your CR90 Corvette A around the enemy's flank, and bring both your Mon Karren and Garel's Honor into the battle positioned at your enemy's back"

so we have Profundity with Raddus aboard and a CR90 deployed and Mon Karren and an MC30 in hyperspace.

I read this to mean the article is stating you can hyperspace BOTH of these ships into battle within rage 1 of the CR90 you flew around the enemies back.

Hi @BrobaFett

Yep, that part of the article is goop. I tried to figure out if maybe they got the Mon Karren mixed up with the Profundity, but even then it still wouldn't work.

So.....yep. Obligatory article mistake has been spotted. :)

I'm willing to write these for them. Will work for product. Won't make mistakes that any player who has just read the card for the first time would immediately spot as being against the rules.

I'm still waiting in that line, mate ;) Ever since the MC30 article.

Even I could write with less mistakes, and that says a lot about their articles :P

I would still make the mistakes, but I'd write better.
