Intensify.... Forward Firepower?

By Crabbok, in Star Wars: Armada

So in the spread we see "Intensify" right next to Entrapment Formation, so it appears to be a Fleet Command upgrade.

Naturally I'm assuming it's Intensify Forward Firepower. But it could be just "Intensify Dramatic Battle Music" or whatever.

But it's the last thing missing. We have squadrons covered, we have movement, and we have shields for that slot. Firepower is the last thing.

So what do you think it will do? And if it's strong enough, say... adding a die to each attack? Would that make the Pelta rise in the ranks among Rebel players?

If it's a reference to ROTJ, it should intensify antisquadron firepower.

To be specific when guessing...maybe add a red die to an AS attack? Don't want it to be too overwhelming....would explain why the command didn't help Executor . ;)

I think it will bestow all ships with, you guessed it, a concentrate fire command token.

I don't care what it does, but if it's not named 'Intensify forward firepower' then FFG should lose the star wars liscence.

It's not.

it will be Intensify Firepower.

check the font size and word length vs Entrapment formation .

.... I must have mentioned this in 4 topics by now ?

It could be

"Intensify Forward

Firepower"

There could be like... magic text that shows up when you view it afterward

Like Firepower could be the 2nd line.

The gold bubble is too small for a second line to exist.

also, generally in those instances, the top line is the shorter one, not the bottom

Yes I realized that RIGHT after I posted but you quoted me too quickly. Grrrrrrrr

It'll be one of those 3d art picture that has hidden shapes when you stare at it for a really long time.

And I'm on a phone right now too! My typing speed is vastly inferior to being on my pc, as this **** thing is still new to me.

Dras, destroying dreams 1 at a time.

One at a time takes too long.

I need a Cluster-Dream-Buster.

An effect that specifically added an extra die to anti squadron could go a long way to me fielding 3 ISDs...

Or Vics... Raiders... any ship with Kallus...

If that card doesn't say "Intensify Forward Firepower!", I'm scratching it on there myself...

"All ships that attack a ship with their front arc this turn add one red dice to the attack"

I will sell you a conversion kit for the very reasonable price of £5

(said conversion kit may or may not consist of a 20p pen)

And my guess is that it will be add a red die to one anti ship shot for each ship. The existing fleet commands do not just give you a token (all fightersfollow me is not anything to do with tokens and shields to maximum is not the same as an engineering token for all) and a conc fire token is a bit poo really.

Adding a die of any colour means Sato becomes pretty irrelevant and makes a lot of other upgrades stupidly good (screed APT glad 1s anyone?) but red dice are flakey so it's a strong but mediocre bonus.

Yesssss! Poo goes through the language filter! I can use foul language with impunity at last!!!!

... Only a bloody Pom would consider 'Poo' foul language. ;)

"Exhaust this card to bring back a long lamented podcast. The lord of tubs arrives from hyperspace and lays waste to your enemies"

Purely speculative, but I could see it be something where you get additional dice if you only fire out a single arc.

All ships double their dice in the front battery this turn.

Cost - 150

I already run 4x Raider lists, so that wouldn't be unusual. 3x ISD without worrying about not having a squadron screen.
