![]() This is the example of something that is still legal - in the above scenario, the AFII has the rear hull zone of the VSD in its front arc, and still does according to the new rules after measuring for range. The AFII has line of sight on the VSD's rear arc from its front. Under the new rules, because the shortest point between the two that is still in arc is now covered by the VSD's side arc, the shot is no good - the AFII cannot shoot the VSD's rear with its side arc. The rear arc of the VSD is within the side arc of the AFII (though you'd have to go through the VSD's side arc to measure it), and there is Line of Sight between both arcs. Let's take a look at what is a legal shot and what isn't:ĪFII has a line of sight on the VSD's rear arc.īut the VSD's rear arc isn't in the AFII's side arc per the new rules.Ībove, the pictures show a shot that with the previous rules as written would be perfectly legal. Now you have to measure both line of sight AND attack range to ensure neither one goes through another hull zone. Previously, the rule as worded allowed you to take shots on an enemy hull zone if it was in arc and had line of sight that did not go through another hull zone. The biggest change was how attacks were made, specifically how line of sight was established on hull zones. ![]() Interestingly enough, the ruling of XI-7 Turbolasers and how they interact with the Advanced Projectors was not covered (it should be noted that Advanced Projectors lets you transfer 1 damage to each hull zone against an XI-7 attack, per FFG email). For the most part, it is a clarification of the existing rules. Overall, there isn't much in the FAQ that changes in a dramatic way an understanding of any of the cards. Today we are going to talk briefly bit about the FAQ update as well as the Tournament Rule changes just released by Fantasy Flight on the 24th.
