so just so I understand this better with Nein and pattern analyser if I dial in a red manoeuvre with foils closed focus into a barrel roll which leaves me with 2 stresses one for the move and one for linked action as long as I am in range 0-1 of an opponents ship I can shed both stresses and then perform another action? Is that right cause I’ve been reading like I can only shed a single stress?

"When you receive a stress token, if there is an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1, you may discard that stress token."

For one, you don't receive the stress simultaneously, the BR stress comes before the check difficulty step, so you can definitely remove both.

Now if you receive 2 stress simultaneously, e.g. from, Panicked Pilot I'm not sure. I vaguely remember some relevant rule along these lines in RR but can't remember where.

It involves Nien doing a red move with foils closed to land in range 1 of an enemy and then PA focus into barrel roll before taking a TL. The theory is that you end up range 1 in bullseye to shed all the stress as you get it from red moves and linked actions.

Its not going to be something you manage to pull off every game!

That is putting it lightly. 🤪

It easier than he makes it out to be, you don't need to be in R1 until after the BR.

But it's not like you're explicitly trying to do it, its just another tool to get R1. R1/Double mods/no stress is what your actually after, and that happens with regularity.
