    By the strictest definition - they would not be legal.  They're not called out explicitly as something you cannot do, but they don't conform to the list of things you can do, which are, for Squadrons basically are:

    I know.. which is why I haven't bought them for all my squads :P     If someone were to guinea pig them to a major event and they were deemed ok in actual use (like the washers were at worlds), I would be all over them, but my gaming budget is strapped enough as it is.  I will probably pick a few up when able for non-competitive squad sets down the road in any case.

    I followed every step of the rulebook at every step and pushing the rules to the limit.

    So we still don't know, you need to move the range tool to cardboard to cardboard with the rhymer shot, right now it has a little room, but is not measuring a legal shot, it still has to clear the plastic.. at best you are going to have a small fraction of the couple millimeters you have with the illegal shot.   Which brings us back to it's very hard to get that shot on a real table, especially if you want to do it with enough bombers to scare an AF.  2 or 3 at the most aren't going to do more than dent it's shields without help.

    You apply it following the rules of measurement. 4mm is almost half a cm wich is easy to see.

    It was not a veiled insult at all, at least that not was my intention, maybe is because english is not my native language and I have to struggle all the time with idioms and stuff, idk, sorry if you took it that way.

     

    So this is the basic measurement:

    to the limit. Now I just moved upwards the squadron rule to seek the engagement:

    And here is the evidence:

    IMG-20170606-WA0005_opt.jpg.4d4c01146c3eaa690361ce38dc8db0ff.jpg

    As you can see the laser is even above the number 1 distance because of my hand shaking while taking the pic. So the distance to engagement is actually a bit larger.

    But is rhymer cardboard to cardboard with the ship?   Plastic isn't enough for shooting (although it IS for GH range.. go go silly armada rules!)

     


  4. The card is not exhausted by the target of the attack, so it's not a matter of "stacking" per say, as it exhausts each friendly ship that drops the damage.   Can see it working either way... It works similar to BCC then.. a fighter can tap multiple BCC's from different ships.  In the foresight article the mistake was  a basic rule from the core game, not technically foresight (if you could use 2 evades, foresight would eliminate 4 dice).

    The APT question is a good one, although I would think if they could shunt the APT damage, it's APT damage and would not be converted to a shield (as it's a direct face up card that ignores shields)..  Now.. what about concussion missle damage?  :P

    If you make it I'll buy you a beer?

    Realized the Sin City Bowl is the Saturday before (big blood bowl tourney here in vegas)  so It would be a very late night to drive down afterward, but still possible.  Will be a last minute decision based partly on who can I drag with me to split the travel cost.

    And that may actually lower a kill probability, as you essentially need to have no blanks on all your reds.

      With concentrate fire only 2 blank reds allow a flotilla to live.
