Gunner + Weapons Engineer

By mrfroggies, in X-Wing Rules Questions

The Gunner card and Luke both let you make a second attack with your primary weapon, and the Weapons Engineer lets you hold 2 target locks. Say you run Lando with Gunner and Weapons Engineer. You attack enemy ship A and use your first target lock, but miss. Could you use your second attack to target ship B that you have a target lock on? In other words can the Gunner target a different ship then the first attack. I have my thoughts on this, but would like to hear what others think.

Neither the gunner nor Luke require your 2nd attack to be against the same target. They do require your 2nd attack to be with your primary weapon, but that is it.

I agree. I think we can read into things too much with this game since it is so new, but if we just take the wording at face value most of our questions would be answered. However, no question is a bad one.
