WHEN do I play the Riker Maneuver (2017 Starter)?
Posted: Mon May 06, 2019 6:58 am
Hello I've got a question concerning the Riker Maneuver talent (2017 Starter):
The text states: "WHEN DEFENDING: If the attacking ship is not in this ship's Primary Firing Arc, discard this card. Remove all Target Lock and Battle Station Tokens beside the attacking ship. Place an Auxiliary Power Token beside this ship and the attacking ship."
Can I play this card after (for example) someone selects my ship as a target and deactivates his torpedoes, but BEFORE he spends his target lock and battle stations? If I'm considered defending AFTER all red dice are tossed and modified it would be pretty senseless because usually target lock and battle station tokens are used.
When am I considered "defending"?
