Skilled Bombardier

By Minimono, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Are you allowed to put the bomb/mine token at range 0 to your base?

(trick question) Is there a "zero" template?

It's also worth noting: Ved Folso can't reduce a 1-straight to a 0-speed maneuver, because stalls are explicitly not straight maneuvers; they have a different bearing.

When it comes to Skilled Bombardier, this also applies. A hypothetical "range 0" drop wouldn't be the same bearing as a 1-straight, and Skilled Bombardier allows you to change speed but not bearing .

Thanks for making this clear! Back to rethinking my bombing strategy...

Reminider: a TIE Bomber with a Skilled Bombardier gains SIX places to put their devices (1-2, straight & banks)... and Emon Azameen/Marauder just becomes stupid with a bombardier on board (1-4 straight, 2-3 hard turns).
