So the rule says that the ship cannot return fire if attacked. That makes sense if you have the lower range, so will fire second, but what about if you have a higher range, so you should attack first, because then you haven`t actually been attacked.
I will give an example, which is actually why i`m asking the question.
Say my top stack are thors` (range 11, no def. special rule) and i`m attacked by another terran with a top stack of herculers (range 5). Do I get to fire? The same question also applies to the no retaliation rule. It`s not retaliation if I shoot first |

The specials remove the ability to return fire while being attacked, not the ships actual ability to attack

10000 P.thor - 1 million PR
vs
45 Hercs - 2 million PR
if the Thor was still the top stack then it would still hit first irrespective of the PR difference?

99+ day(s) ago | You fire first, due to range. Then the Hercs fire. But you misunderstand. Say you have Garuda vs Sword (neither have any special mods). It will go like this:
XXX`s Garuda fire at YYY`s Sword!
-100 Sword were destroyed
-20 Garuda were lost in the attack
YYY`s Sword fire at XXX`s Garuda!
-40 Garuda were destroyed
-20 Sword were lost in the attack
Whereas Thor vs Herc will look like this:
XXX`s Thor fire at YYY`s Herc
-1 Herc were destroyed
YYY`s Herc fire at XXX`s Thor
-200 Thor destroyed
(numbers completely made up)
See the difference? |
