The Smuggler's Den - A Star Wars Lcg Podcast - Episode 2


As promised, I present the 2nd episode of The Smuggler's Den, a bi-weekly Star Wars LCG podcast. In this episode we discuss free information, how to handle one's hand, whether a better reset is needed and the power that is the Heavy Blaster Emplacement. Of course we include the segments Card of the Week and Combo of the Week. Like last time, any feedback is appreciated, both positive and critical. And as always feel free to email the show any questions you have or topics you would like to see discussed.

Nice job!
I have a question:
Can a unit that gets it's focus stroken removed (by double strike for example) strike again on the same objective (and any other units committed to the engagement)?
I thought it couldn't before, but I'm still very new to the game.

Also can an attack be made without objective damage icons while an opponent controls no units on the board? (so you'd not be able to resolve the gun or tactic icons even though those are the only ones you have, just for the one unopposed damage?)

And lastly, it was clear in the example video the attacker could still play fate cards in an unopposed challenge even though he automatically wins the edge battle. Is the defender still able to thwart the attackers fate cards by playing a Twist of fate, or other fate cards, or can only the attacker play fate's in an unopposed edge battle?
I'm no expert but I will try to answer.

1. As you are taking turns striking, if one of your participating units gets its focus token removed it can and must strike again. None of your participating units can leave an engagement without being focused to my knowledge, so a good tactic like you said is to use something like double strike so your best units can strike twice.

2. Yes you can attack just to do one unopposed damage.

3. You can only play fate cards if you have a participating unit in an engagement. So no, if the defender does not engage a unit to block, you cannot play fate cards.

Hope that helps, and someone feel free to jump in if I'm wrong.
