I've had a lot of fun running her on a Victory 2 with Harrow, using her to power both gunnery teams and engine techs at the same time as often as you like. It doesn't have much survivability, but with disposable capacitors throws out more consistent firepower than a Cymoon for around 110pts, and is bizzarely maneuverable for a vic. A lot of fun and unexpected by many opponents!

They're only "dealt" when they are en route from the damage card deck to the ship (as you're "dealing" the cards from the deck to the ship). I can understand the confusion, though, the term is a little nebulous.<br /><br />And thanks for your kind words!Eric Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721846237539911453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-34057008361306965572021-12-29T23:14:07.072-06:002021-12-29T23:14:07.072-06:00I tried to post this the other day and it said the...I tried to post this the other day and it said there was an error, so I’m trying again. Sorry for the repeat. Anyway, I’d like your thoughts on whether Lira Wessex can protect a ship against the effect of Boarding Engineers. Lira’s effect can trigger “When you are dealt a faceup damage card”. Boarding Engineers look at a ship’s facedown damage cards and flip one or more of them up. If what Boarding Engineers do is considered “dealing” a faceup damage, then I think Lira could put it facedown again without resolving the effect. But if it’s not considered “dealing” the faceup damage, then I guess the ship would have to just take the nasty faceup effect, wouldn’t it? I appreciate your thoughts on this. By the way, your site is great. I’ve learned a ton from it, and its just fun to read too.ArmadaNewbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132868405389289894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-43590159911150270722021-04-18T08:24:34.624-05:002021-04-18T08:24:34.624-05:00Yes, you spend both the dial and the token, then y...Yes, you spend both the dial and the token, then you resolve the entire command.

Consulting the rules reference guide it says (under evade, in the defense tokens section):<br />When a ship spends an [evade] token while defending against a ship of a larger size class, it may cancel or reroll one additional attack die, as appropriate for the attack’s range. If it does, discard the spent token, whether it is readied or exhausted.<br /><br />Because Versio modifies the effect of spending the token at close range, you'd cancel an additional die.Eric Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10721846237539911453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6899368611583210454.post-75894623577033309672021-03-19T10:27:47.029-05:002021-03-19T10:27:47.029-05:00This came up today:
