Flying through multiple asteroids

By Sidehatch, in X-Wing Rules Questions

A question came up in one of our matches last night. If a ship flies through an asteroid and lands on a different asteroid, does the pilot roll one or two damage dice?

When reading the rule on Obstacles (page 20 of the core rule book), it seems to read that only one die is rolled for the maneuver. We just wanted clarification one the multiple obstacles because we didn't see anything written.

From FAQ:

Q: After a ship moves through or overlaps
more than one obstacle, does the owner
roll an attack die for each of these
obstacles?
A: No. He rolls only one attack die regardless of the
number of obstacle tokens his ship moves through
or overlaps

You need quick fingers on this forum.

Ugh, I hate when I miss the obvious... I have a copy of the FAQ in my box too... LOL

Which is why you should always try and hit as many asteroids in a move as possible, in order to get your money's worth.

Inconceivable!

What about when shooting through multiple astroids? Does the defender get two additional green dice?

Nope

There is only one degree of obstruction
