EDIT: I can't read cards gud.

So let me set the scene here...I think I got the rules kinda right but maybe not.

This is probably the single funniest moment I have ever experienced in X-Wing.

Round 1 of Combat.

Talonbane shoots harpoons at QD and lands 2 hits on QD and assigns Harpooned.

QD fires back takes 1 shield off him and pushes 2 damage through.

No one else has any shots.

Round 2 of Combat

All the ships end up at the spots below ( this happened in real life not vassal )

What happened next got super confusing....but long story short

QD does 2 regular damage to Thweek.

Thweek does no damage to QD.

Talonbane gets 1 hit and 2 crits on QD.

QD revenge fires at Thweek resolves a Kylo Crit.

QD pulls Major Explosion and rolls the damage.

Harpooned resolves.

Every other ship is at Range 1 of QD!!!!

When the dust settles QD, Thweek, and Talonbane all explode.

The Shuttle, Vader, and Fenn take 2 damage from Harpooned.........

Im 99% sure I got the order of all that wrong since I cant remember everything.

Either way if Vader or Fenn had taken any damage round 1 Quickdraw could have ended the entire game round 2....

Anyone else have any funny Harpooned Stories?

Happy Friday!

Yes, this kind of crap happens with Harpoons!

Nah, you did too much damage with the Harpooned! condition.

When Talonbane did 1h+2c to QD, that triggers the first phrase of Harpooned!, immediately before Step 7 of the attack sequence. It's actually not clear when a ship is considered "destroyed", but it's definitely at the end of or later than Step 7 (Step 10 of the timing chart tells you to remove destroyed ships without it ever actually getting mentioned in the sequence when them being destroyed happens; the rules reference says a ship is destroyed when it has damage cards equal to its hull value, so definitely at some point during Step 7). The first phrase tells you to discard Harpooned!, so by the time QD has received damage in Step 7, you no longer have the clause saying to deal ships at Range 1 one damage when the Harpooned! ship is destroyed.

But did you win?

Ah ok.

So basically Harpooned can never do both the splash damage from the initial crit and splash damage from the ship being destroyed in the same round?

Basically I did 2x as much damage as Harpooned is supposed to do?

Yes. the total damage could have been the same if talonbane and qd had both used harpoons in round one though......(talonbanes death triggering the second effect)

I'm waiting to see a Dead Man Switch Z-95 with 1 hp and 3 Harpooned! Conditions. Wanna guess if he's heading towards the enemy ships? He is.

EXTRA THWEEK!!!!!!!

I lost but the quantity of laughter makes me feel like a winner for misunderstooding the rules

You could, in an Epic game, conceivably have an infinite number of Harpooned! condition cards on a ship with the recover action, being attacked by a ship with the reload action. Now that's a spicy meatball.

There was a league game last night on vassal for my group where the one player had fenn at 1 hull for several rounds within range 1 of a harpooned ship, and none of his ships rolled any crits luckily. He finally killed himself in the last shooting round of the game when he got a crit through himself but still won as he had 2 other ships left.
