Streaming a Armada Tournament in 10 hours

That was a lot of fun to watch. Great job! Ian had some solid objectives and really raked in some points with Fire Lanes.

However, there were a number of rules errors and misunderstandings. Here were some that I noticed during the stream.

* When a ship is starting its attack, you must declare before any dice are rolled if you are using Ackbar's ability. You can't decide to add them later once dice are rolled. While you declare if you will use the ability beforehand, the dice themselves don't get added until the "Modify Dice" part of the attack.

* Intel Officer's target must be declared after the attack pool is rolled, but before the "Modify Dice" part of the attack. This means that the target must be called before any Ackbar dice are added, before any Concentrate Fire dials or tokens, and before any TRCs.

* A defense token can only be spent once per attack. If you have one brace and a Sloane squadron spends it with an accuracy, that brace cannot be used by the defender during this attack.

* Maarek's ability has the same timing as Sloane's. Thus, you can turn a die to a critical with Maarek's ability, then reroll it using Sloane's ability (or vice versa).

* In the last match, Home One had a critical damage card preventing it from activating criticals. Criticals were applied on the following three attacks by Home One. This caused a ship to be destroyed that should not have been. (This is just more of "be sure not to miss critical damage cards")

* (this is from an earlier stream): Leading shots can only be used once per attack. If you spend a blue die to reroll some dice, you cannot spend another blue die to reroll again.

Definitely a great stream, and the stats tracking is great. It's nice being able to see the health and shields of everyone. Thanks for streaming it!
