jpersons73 86 Posted April 6, 2016 I understand how ACM works with a Target that has full shields, what I would like clarification on is if I fire at a hull zone that has no shields but the other adjacent zones have 1 shield. How does the dmg from the ACM work? Does it deal 3 dmg to the hull or 1 dmg to the hull and 1 dmg to each shield? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jpersons73 86 Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) 1 dmg to the hull and 1 dmg to each shield thanks! So if the other adjacent zones have no shields it is 3 dmg to the hull? Edited April 6, 2016 by jpersons73 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Green Knight 9,746 Posted April 6, 2016 ACM is a crit effect. So is resolved before damage. That crit effect is to do 1 pt of damage to each of the adjacent hull zones. Shields do not matter. If there are shields, shields take the damage. If not, it goes to the hull. Same as any other kind of damage. After the crit has resolved you do damage as normal. 2 thanosazlin and TheEasternKing reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcworrell 811 Posted April 7, 2016 ACM is a crit effect. After the crit has resolved you do damage as normal. So if I roled a crit and a hit, I first resolve the ACMs. Do I then resolve the standard crit effect and the hit? Or does the crit now count as a normal hit along with the standard hit?

Damage in Summary: 1) Resolve Critical Effect. This is a Declaration such as "I trigged ACMS" followed by doing it... If you invoke the default at this point, you are saying "And the First Damage card this turn is Face Up." 2) Count up how many points of Damage there are. This is "HIT" Symbols vs Squadrons, and both "HIT" and "CRIT" symbols versus Ships. This gets you the Damage NUMBER. (And if Brace was used, halve this number - Nothing Beforehand!) 3) Do the Damage 1 Point at a Time. If Redirect was used, then follow its allowance as well.
