"X-Wing Rules Questions" Topic

Haven't played the game yet, but have been reading up on the rules, stats, tactics, etc.

I have a couple of questions:

1. does the Y-Wing get two attacks per turn?

Given the point values, and what the basic rules say, I guess no, but it seems to me that if the Ion Cannons are purchased (and presumably you have a second man to operate them), then you should get two attacks, e.g. one to the front by the pilot, and a second with the 360 degree coverage of the Ion Cannons.

2. is there a listing on Han's, and/or the Millenium Falcon's special abilities?

Similar to the Y-Wing, I was thinking it might get two, or even three attacks per turn, e.g. forward arc by the pilot, and then one for each of the two turrets.

Again, I'm guessing no, for playbalance, but if Han is rated as a 9 pilot, like Vader is (who gets two attacks, if desired), then perhaps he does as well.

Afterall, he did get the drop on Vader in Episode 4, during the Death Star attack, and managed to get him tossed out of the trench to save Luke, and presumably there are crew to operate the turrets, independently.

The Y-wing only gets one attack per turn. That's in the rulebook.

I know, but thought with the release of expansions that there might be changes to the basic rules, as they are made available.

1. No, everything only gets one attack, using either with primary lasers or secondary weapons.

2. Not yet as far as I have seen. Again, so far NOBODY gets more than one attack, including Vader. He gets two ACTIONS, though. Very different animal but no less useful!

Oh, I see.

I thought Vader could get two attacks, as part of his two actions. Thanks for the clarification.

I had a question come up last night, for the Escort mission with the Senators shuttle.

Rebel Protection, Rebel ship within 1 move of the shuttle can give an evade action to the shuttle. Does this count as that rebels action for the ship giving the evade?

Thanks, Xin

Somebody on eBay was selling all the Millennium Falcon stuff. I guess he got them from one of the Kessel Run tournament packs. I don't have links to the auctions but he had pictures of most of the stats and equipment and pilot cards.

Xintao, I don't have my rule book with me and I've not played the scenario. However unless it says you can take an action to give the shuttle and evade action then no, it doesn't count as the Rebel ship's action.

Here's a video of unboxing the Millennium Falcon, with close-ups of the cards and some rushed discussion of what the abilities are:
