Enjoy!

Hyperspace Migration clarification! It'll be a sensation!

For Parts:

"This is Okay."

For Other Parts:

"I don't have to Like it, I just have to accept it."

It solves most issues. It causes one or two others that I'm going to keep quiet on, lest they provoke arguments involving them.

This is great! I think they answered all the pesky questions I've had, especially those regarding RitR.

I think LTT just got more confusing.

Yeah, WTF with that?? what the FAQ says has nothing to do with what the card says

I think they should have split that paragraph into two to make it less confusing. I think that what it is trying to say is that if a ship has both LTT and Ordnance Pods, like a 75 for example, and it decides to add in the two dice (from LTT) to attack one squad during its' standard two attacks, it cannot then add those two dice again during the Ordnance Pod attack. If the 75 did not add the two dice originally, when attacks with Ordnance Pods at the end of its' activation, it can add the two dice to attack one squad, but then it cannot attack any other squads for the rest of the Ordnance Pods' attack. That was my interpretation. Still very confusing.

Also, is the Ordnance Pods clarification just saying that Gunnery Teams' cannot overrides Ordnance Pods' can ? Sort of the same situation between Gunnery Teams and Advanced Gunnery?

Also Holy Cow, Chimaera's entry is almost as long as Rieekan's, now.

It could be. But either way what the FAQ says needs an errata, as being able to resolve that effect during any of your anti-squadron attacks is not the same as "While attacking the first squadron during your activation".

Is it possible that the first sentence is referring to the first effect (the reroll one red die) of the card? And the second sentence is referring to the second effect of the card (the add two dice)?

That was my first thought, but what makes me think it's not is this:

"The ship with this card equipped can resolve this effect during any of its anti-squadron attacks but can only resolve it once during its activation. "

Supposedly you can resolve the first part of the card once per attack, but the second part is the one limiting you to once per activation.

Ah, good point. Then I dunno!

The “first squadron during your activation” is still mandatory. The clarification just notes it doesn’t have to be one of your two standard attacks. Namely, it clarifies it can be used during ordnance pods.

So you can use both attacks on a ship and use LTT on a single squad during the Ordnance Pods attack, but you can’t flak for one of your attacks and then use LTT for your Ordnance Pods attack, as you already have attacked a squadron.

So if you LTT-boost a direct attack on one squad in your arc and don't flak the others, but instead do a main gunnery team attack from the same arc...you can still ordnance pod all the others later but CANNOT ordnance pod the squad you LTT flak'd. Right?

That makes total sense, thanks for the clarification. Altought they could've write it much more clearly to state that. Not saying "The ship with this card equipped can resolve this effect during any of its anti-squadron attacks" but saying that it can be used if that first attack is made outside of that ship's two regular attacks per activation. Saying that it can be used during any anti-squadron attack is very wide, like I could be attacking squadrons and during any one of that attacks I could add the 2 dice.

Correct. If Gunnery Teams is equipped to a ship, each squadron or enemy ship attacked by that ship can only be targeted once from that hull zone during its activation.

Someone willing to do a TL;DR/important parts for those of us who no longer have a deep grip of the rules? (Some of us have not been able to play this game for a long time also)

Some things changed. Others did not.

Here are the highlights. The following is not everything in there, but most of the big things.

Card Errata

• Admiral Raddus: Set aside ship can only deploy from flagship, can deploy D1-2.
• Hyperspace Migration: You can only score every other round.

Rules Errata

• Exogorth attacks: attack steps are always done by the opposing player of the defending squadron
• Task Force Setup Area: Obstacles are placed D3 from player edges, D1 from non-player edges
• Rebellion in the Rim stuff (I'm being lazy)
• Extreme Range: Evades cancel 2 dice at extreme range

FAQ:

• If an effect changes an opponents dial, you get to know what the dial was set to first.

Clarifications

• Surprise Attack: Huge ships must deploy touching the station and back edge. If there is no legal spot, they must touch station and as close to the back edge as possible.
• Capture VIP: If the VIP ship goes off the edge, the token is dropped in the play area before it is destroyed as close as possible to its final position.
• Various: If an obstacle must move, but there is no legal spot for it, it doesn't move. (Can be rotated)
• IG-88B must attack any escorts he is engaged with first. If he is engaged with any escorts after that, he cannot attack anyone else.
• Aspiration, Pryce, Bail: If something removes the card (like Vader) the effect is lost.
• Commander Beck: You can spend a dial with her ability.

For me it was new that you can't spend a "Thrawn"-dial to get rid of Raid Tokens.

Really? It wasn't neatly spelled out like it is now, but thats been known for well over a year or so now, it was something already in the FAQ, just in a section most people skip over.

Did this answer the question of if the SSD can overlap other obstacles in surprise attack? Im not sure it did.
