Roark + Han Crew: attack twice with same turret at Initiative 7?

By Wazat, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Got a question on the wiki and I want to make sure I'm answering right.

Can you use Roark to give leebo on a yt2400 a I7 engagement, then attack, then use Han Solo gunner to make another attack at I7?

My first reaction is, yes that works. That would let Leebo attack twice from the same turret at initiative 7, pounding a range 1 enemy into submission before it can ever engage.

My reasoning: They're both triggering at initiative 7. The game effect goes first: engage. Then you trigger the card ability. It's not two bonus attacks: you're doing your normal engagement attack, then a single bonus attack.

Am I leading them wrong or do I have it basically right? IMO if it works, it's a pretty cool combo, even if it takes 2 ships to set up.

It does work, but it's simpler than that: You can engage at init 7, and you can perform a bonus attack at init 7. When it is your turn, you can choose which of those effects to resolve in whatever order you want: Roark then Han, or Han then Roark (though the latter is decidedly less useful).
