Hi,

I have just purchased Armada and have a good grasp of the rules however I just need clarification on the window of use for command dials and command tokens. It' a bit of a newbie question I know but my time is limited to search for an answer due to having a 2 year old daughter to look after.

Now I know you can use a command dial straight away, save it for an applicable time to use or convert it to a command token for another turn.

What seems a bit vague to me is when can you use a command dial or token if you choose not to use it straight away after activating a ship..... what is the window of use?

Thanks

You use them at the appropriate times.

This is basically “immediately after reveal” for Engineering and Squadron.... During an attack for Concentrate Fire.... or while messing with the maneuver tool during movement for Navigate.

Basicalky, it goes:

Reveal Dial.

Decide on whether to make it a token, or keep as a dial.

Use Dial/Token for Eng/Squad.

... then you move into attacking...

... and so forth...

Okay thanks that makes sense to me.

Only question I have is with squadron, can you use it after movement or only at the start after the reveal?

Standard is IMMEDIATELY after reveal.

There is an upgrade card that allows you to delay it until after moving.

This should do the trick!
