How are people thinking of basing their units. You going with one scheme for all or going to mix it up?
-
Love this game so very much.
Recently moved and have no one to play with, gone from 1-3 games a fortnight to zero
Help me Obi-wan your my only hope
Anyone in or near Cheltenham UK?

I disagree, combat would occur but AFTER the base has been moved.
You would draw your cards, pick a new base, put that in the probe slot, give the other player the old card and place the units in the old system, then resolve your combat.

Interesting read.
Personally, I do have some disagreements, but that's from my experience.
For example, I have yet to fire the super laser, and this has in no way slowed me down from winning as Empire time and again. Similarly I have found that if you concentrate your forces too much during deployment you can loose a system or two on turn one, depending upon your starting planets.
I would also say that I think you can recover from early mistakes, this game can change very drastically very quickly and the dice gods can be immensely cruel when you need just 1 success with your 5 dice and they all come up blank lol! Or even crueller, you have 6 dice and a +2 and your opponent has 1 dice and he BLOCKS you!
I've found its a very different game each time I play and that my strategy changes dependant upon lots of factors; starting locations, early missions draw, leaders selected etc.

Tracking building is a fantastic idea, top points

Planetary Conquest has won me a few games

Where are these stands from and did you glue the ships to them,quite like the idea of have the space units on them, so they A take up less space in the region and B are over the planet/ground units

what I put was wrong. Deleted

Yes
Rules reference, page 1. Quite literally the first bullet point

Fairly sure one player can pass and the other still gets to go.

Internet issue, double post.

Hi Guys
So possibly playing a team game tonight using the actual team games rules and is a resolution to the below referenced anywhere.
If a team has both an Admiral and a General on the same mission and lets say the General wishes to pass can the Admiral still play this mission on his go?

So, got one that isn't really clear in the rules, but... can you have have more than one captured leader at a time? IE.. can you have a captured leader AND a leader frozen in carbonite?
Hi Shaunmerritt
I think you misunderstood this thread, its for posting Official Responses from FFG and not for asking for official responses.
However, to answer your question.
Each ring can be active at the same time. So you can have a Turned leader, a Frozen in Carbonate Leader and a Captured leader all at once. If you Turn, Freeze or Capture a new leader the previous one is rescued/redeemed.
For the purpose of any rules relating to a Captured Leader, these apply to a Frozen Leader also, but not a Turned Leader.
Hope this helps,
Lewis

I retract that you cannot use the Death Star plans on a DSUC. But I still believe you can destroy it without, otherwise there would be no point giving it a health value.
For your original counter, the rules specifically specify that the DS plans can be used against a DSUC, but nothing else, so blowing up a planet is still say no
-
The Death Star Under Construction is not destroyed by the "Death Star Plans" card. It has Black Health and can be destroyed in combat as per normal.

Hello Lewis,
Abilities that "place units on the build queue" are unaffected by sabotage.From your list below, Oversee Project is the only card that uses the term “Deploy,” and therefore cannot be used in a subjugated system. All other cards on your list can be used in a sabotaged system.I hope this answers your question!

So there have been talks over the ability to build and deploy to a sabotaged system and while I am still awaiting FFGs response I thought I'd post a contradiction I spotted in the rules reference today.
Page 3, sub section "BUILD UNITS"
-When an ability allows a player to place units on the build queue, these units are taken from the supply.
- If the ability is resolved in a system, it can be performed even if there is a sabotage marker in the system.
Page 13, sub section "SABOTAGE MARKERS"
-Abilities cannot "build" or "deploy" units in a system that contains a sabotage marker.
- Other abilities that refer to resource icons in a system are unaffected by sabotage markers. For example, an ability that allows a player to "gain" units in a system is not prevented by a sabotage marker.
Anyone else spot the contradiction lol
-
No, the "Death Star" and "Death Star Under Construction" are two distinct units effectively. The card requires a "Death Star" not a "Death Star Under Construction". Where as the card "Fully Operational" specifies a "Death Star or Death Star Under Construction"
-
I think he is saying he had already assigned someone to sabotage, and decided he needed someone there so performed it there to provide the assistance to Luke.

I figured I'd start a thread where people could put the official responses people have gotten from FFG (these are to questions posted to their rules query form). Please just post the question(s) and answers.
Hi doctor
I'm quoting you as I'm hoping that will flag to you to view this.
Could you edit your starting post of the thread to briefly list the all the questions and there answer and edit them as new answers are posted so people only have to read the first post to see all the answers posted, but if they want a full answer they can find the post in the thread?

Hello Lewis,
See my answers below.Thanks for playing!- Corey KonieczkaVP of Research & Design

Sabotage a-Does this prevent the construction of a Super Star Destroyer in the system? b- Does it stop the card "Demolition" being used in that system? c- Does it stop the "Support of Mon Calamari" from building a Cruiser.If an ability doesn’t use the word “Build” or “Deploy” then it is unaffected by Sabotage Markers. For example you can use "Build Super Star Destroyer”, “Demolition”, and “Support of Mon Calamari" in a sabotaged system.2. Rescuing a Captured leader a- "It is your Destiny" Action Card. When a rescue is attempted and other rebel heroes are in the system, they all contribute to the mission if they have the right skills, are all heros in the system valid for capture by Vader or is it just the one or two who where placed on the card or is it just those who had the skill icons and so contributed. b- If other leaders assist in the system are they able to move to the rebel base or is it just the one or two who where placed on the card?a. Only leaders that were assigned to the mission can be targeted by It is your Destiny.b. Only leaders that were assigned to the mission can return to the Rebel base along with the rescued leader.3. "More Dangerous than you realise" Action Card. Are these cards drawn in addition to his normal cards?Yes, these cards are in addition to the cards you normally draw.4. "Lure of the Darkside" and "Leave No One Behind" Does the turned rebel leader count as captured for the purpose of this objective card?No. This is no longer a captured leader.5."Return of the Jedi" a- If a turned Luke Skywalker (Jedi) is in the system can the rebel player still eliminate a leader? b- if yes can that leader be Luke?a. Yes.b. Yes.6. "One in a Million" a- Does this have to be a mission Luke/wedge were assigned too, or can it be one they are participating in as being in the system/opposing? b- if yes to participating/opposing can it be used even if they have none of the relevant skill icons for the mission being played but the rebel player has dice from other heros in the system. Thanks team and hope my questions are clear
Lewisa. Luke or Wedge simply needs to be in the system. They do not have to be assigned to the mission.
b. They can use this card even if they don’t have any matching skill icons.Some of these we were sure of anyway but I was emailing so I thought I'd throw them in.I have gone back to the lovely Corey for clarification on her first response as to the words "build" and "deploy" as the Construct SSD says "Place an SSD on space 3 of the build queue" which is the same text as all the other cards that put units on the build queue, "Place units on the build queue using this systems resources icons and number" so as none of the missions or abilities say "Build units...." none of them would seem to apply so what was the purpose of the rule if it doesn't apply to anything. Will post her responsedoctormungmung reacted to this -
Response from FFG
5."Return of the Jedi" a- If a turned Luke Skywalker (Jedi) is in the system can the rebel player still eliminate a leader? b- if yes can that leader be Luke?a. Yes.b. Yes.

So in the coop I can’t see anything that says we are actually classed as loyal to the Star faction?
Thus we are struggling to see how we can complete 237, as we are not loyal.
we have proceeded to assume we are loyal but I can’t find it anywhere that we are.
