“The Code, Broadsides Attack, pg 19”

The ability “L-range cannons cannot hit this ship” does not make a ship an invalid target, even if the attacker has
only L-range cannons available. It can prevent a shot from hitting, but does not prevent the shot from being made.

Would I be correct in interpreting this to mean that if a ship has only L ran…[Read more]

Some big pieces there!  As we might expect from the SR’s for a big set.  🙂

For Nexus Knight, I personally would replace “so long as” with “if”.

Just wait for the rest of the LE section…… 😀 Noted, revising.

This effect covers a huge area, but the penalty is incredibly harsh, to the point that it’s almost unusable, especially for 26 points.   Unless you manage to catch the rare empty ship with it, a single use could shut this dragon down for a major portion of the game.

Losing a turn for each affected ship would be more reasonable, even if that mea…

As written, the secondary, non-Nexus effect of this will almost never occur, because players generally aren’t going to be exploring wild islands with enemy ships that close, especially one that hasn’t already explored the island first and taken this for itself.
