You can only tractor one ship at a time (5D6B) - you could release a ship and tractor it or another later that turn, but you'd need a fresh Tractor box - each one can only be used once per turn. |

HETs are announced at the start of the sub-pulse - 2D2a - and executed during it in move order. |

What kind of scenario could you find yourself where you declare and cancel an HET in the same sun-pulse?
Actual example: I had a Destroyer in a hidden-objective multiplayer scenario where my targe ... |

By my reading of the scenario, you become a Free Agent by "drawing" your own target marker - ie. getting it in the pre-scenario draw NOT by acquiring it in the game. So B would not become a ... |

Without the planet, the target ship player could choose either shield facing through which to take the fire. There seems to be two possible outcomes:

The Saber Dance is the Klingon tactic of choice. I found it difficult to believe that saber dancing at range 15 against a Fed leads to your death. The Fed can't hit a barn at range 15 (1 out of 6 to ... |

All true in Squadron scale, as well, and the F5 always loses. The one minor disadvantage the FF has on the fleet scale conversion is that it has no Fleet Scale representation for the P3s (but it does ... |

junior, when we have multiple ships moving simultaneously, we scribble a quick note on the ship card (using the dry erase marker):
