And looking for bomb effects too, because holy crap I can't find this stuff ANYWHERE.
Help: Bomb Rules sodding impossible to find.
The general rules for bombs are under "Devices" on page 9 of the RRG, since the upgrade slot was renamed to allow for dropping stuff like satellites, as well as formalize the mine-bomb divide*. The rules for specific devices are in the conversion kits ans the expansions that include them, as well as page 20 of the RRG.
*This is just speculation on my part, although it makes sense.

As Squark noted page twenty here: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/2a/57/2a57fdb2-e13f-4d58-b9db-bb082dd23dcc/swzrulesreference_v102.pdf

Does that include what each bomb does?

You can check out Yet Another Squad Builder 2.0, it has the devices effects on the left hand side when you select the upgrade. The X-Wing 2.0 wiki also has them on the different bomb and mine upgrades.

Yep. The rules reference has all the details on one page of glorious bomb templates. Well, except Loose Cargo... pretty picture provided though.
It’s also on the back on all the rule inserts in the conversion kits
Alright. Thanks guys. Very much appreciated it.

"Loose Cargo is a Debris Cloud" so it follows the rules for Debris.

I know that, but thanks. It just isn't listed on the page I identified.
Why they did not print what the bombs do on the now-larger-than-ever bomb cards boggles the mind.

Technically they can easily change what the bombs do without changing cards this way

Which they did already with proximity mines, actually.

But why single bombs/mines out? Why not change them the same way they would change every other upgrade and pilot card?

So that's why the german rules leaflet says 2 dice damage and the rules reference says 1+2 dice?
The english does so too then? That restores my faith in the translators

You're asking me to get into the heads of the devs and reverse engineer the game? I mean, I can think of reasons but not so clearly obvious.
