SW:CCG FAQ (post your ruling questions here)

Question 1: Anytime all the ability is removed from the a battle (either because the character/starship is immediately lost or via cards like Clash of Sabers/You Are Beaten, Blast The Door Kid, Set For Stun, etc.) the battle immediately ends. And because those actions can only occur during the weapons phase there is no battle destiny drawn or totalling of power. Any 'hit' cards are still lost.

Question 2: The amount can vary depending on the amount of sites at the Rebel Base and whether or not you are using the SYCFA objective. See Commence Primary Ignition for how to calculate the Force loss.

 

Light Side loses twice the amount of LS icons destroyed on the planet, excluding generic sites. Apply any icon modifiers such as Yoda, Qui-Gon, Sleen, Presence Of The Force, etc. SYCFA also specifies that Light loses 3 more Force for each Light Yavin site destroyed.

 

Whoops! Didn't notice someone had already answered this question. Sorry!

 

No because AWRI targets copies of a non-unique starfighter not the starfighter's characteristic itself.

 

On Maul's gametext, it says "Unless opponent's character of ability >3 here, opponents total ability here=0. So if there is Qui-Gon (ability 7)at the same site, but there is also Shmi Skywalker (ability 3), do you count just Qui-Gon, or Shmi too?

 

Okay, I'm not quite sure what you are asking but here it goes: Maul's text is putting a condition on the site. Basically the LS has to have a character of ability 4 or higher wherever Maul is in order to preserve their ability at that location. So in your example Qui-Gon satisfies the requirement for the site. As long as he there the LS's ability is intact.

 

Question: On weapon cards when it says it may fire at an adjacent site, does it mean you can fire out of a battle or into a battle? Or both?

 

1st question: whenever you fire a long-range weapon, the target must be participating in battle.

2nd question: The game would be over right then and there. Remember, the winner is determined during the move phase, and the destinies are drawn during the control phase. Therefore, the game would be over.

 

If you read Sebulba's Podracer, the text is not well written. It goes something like that:

"During you control phase, may use 2 Forces. Opponent draw no destiny this turn".

Since there is a period between the using two forces and the opponent draws no destiny, they will have to come up with an errata soon because according to hoe other cards work, these two sentences are not related, thus using two forces has nothing to do as when you decide that opponent draws no destiny. People will contest that like crazy.

Or am I getting this all wrong?

 

It doesn't matter if they're separate sentences. You still use 2 Force to cause the opponent to not draw destiny next time.

 

On other cards, usually when sentences are separeted by a period, they are not related to each other.

 

There are plenty of cards with 2 separate related sentences:

Darth Vader, Dark Lord Of The Sith
Epic Duel
Boonta Eve Podrace
Neck And Neck
Transmission Terminated
Master Luke
A Gift
Just about every weapon in the game

And there are many others.

 

Bib F. is correct with his ruling.

 

The moment your Force is depleted the game ends. No if, ands, or buts.

A Force drain is one whole action. So if you want to play All Wings Report In you better do it before you initiate the drain. (This was under actions in the Glossary.)

 

You cannot play cards during any top level action, unless the card you're playing is an attempt to specifically modify or cancel the current action.

So you have to play AWRI before the drain is initiated, because AWRI is not a response to the drain.

Once any player has 0 Life Force remaining, the game is over. Period. It doesn't matter if that last Force you lost was to retrieve some cards.

 

I have two questions:

1) Can Combat Vehicles attack ground troops?

2) Does Padme's gametext (may deploy qui-gon or obi-wan to same site as a react) work with Obi-Wan Kenobi, Obi-Wan, or Ben Kenobi?

 

1) Sure, why not?

2) 1st, Padme's game text does not say as a react. Second, any personna of Obi-Wan Kenobi works.

 

Not aq ruling question, but something that could be added to your FAQ since it comes up every other day on the Decipher BBS:

If TIGIH is on table, and Arica is deployed to Luke's location, does she capture him?

I know the answer is no, you know that it is no, but still it is asked. Maybe add it to your FAQ

 

I have updated the FAQ a little bit since I posted it here. The one I regularly post on Decipher has the Arica question, plus one more:

Q: Can Arica capture Luke while There Is Good In Him is on table?
A: No. Undercover spies cannot escort captives.

Q: Can you move as a 'react' via docking bay transit?
A: No. Only landspeed, hyperspeed, sector movement, embarking, disembarking, landing and taking off are legal 'react' moves.

Q: If both players deploy Boonta Eve Podrace, can we have 2 races in the same game?
A: No. Because they have the same title, and they both say "once per game," you can only have 1 podrace per game.

 

Can you use Japanese cards in games?
Anyways what is the point of them?

 

Yes, you can play Japanese cards in regular tournament play. However, you should have an English version of each different Japanese card available, set aside (not in play) in case your opponent challenges you or questions you about its game text. No photocopies, no printouts of the card images from decipher.com, etc... it has to be the same card.

For example, if you are playing Japanese Probe Droids (I know a guy who collected them) you need to bring at least one English Probe Droid and set it aside. You don't have to show it to your opponent yet (that might tip him off as to what kind of deck you're playing). But when a Japanese Probe Droid comes into play, take the copy you set aside and show it to your opponent so he can read it.

 

Thanks 4Q2. Also I think I'll just double check this. Darth Vader With Lightsaber, Obi Wan With Lightsaber, and Luke With Lightsaber aren't immune to any attrition, and don't add one to force drain, correct?
