Quick bomb question.

By Memorare, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Midway through a game-

Tie flies through 3 cluster mines - dies on first token. Do we roll the two remaining bomb tokens?

Yes, you do. From the FAQ:

Quote

If a player has simultaneous effects that resolve from the same trigger, that player resolves the entirety of one effect (and any subsequent effects from that trigger) before resolving the others. For example, if a ship overlaps multiple cluster mine tokens at the same time, the controlling player resolves one of the cluster mines (rolling for damage and removing it) before resolving any remaining effects (even if the ship was already destroyed).

Ta! Game on!

So if you have a low health ship and there's a mass of bombs around, you should take a dive for the team to clear the way for your other ships? That's kind of cool that you can use a ship as a kind of suicide sacrifice that way.

There's one or two situations in a game where"committing suicide" can be beneficial.
