Boarding via docking

Post by terryoc »

A question about transfers when sending Marine squads via docking.

You can send 6 per turn. So far, so good. What if, for example, I have a hostile ship docked to my base and it sends 6 marine squads over? Can I use the me-too rule to send six squads back onto his ship, and try to capture it?!

Sure, why not?

I suppose there should really be some kind of "passage combat", but that is way more complex than Federation Commander tries to be. So, yes, send them over!

Just curious but why would your enemy be docked to you, am I incorrect in thinking that docking has to be allowed by both units?

(2D5a) allows a ship to dock with an unwilling base. Basically, the base can't move to prevent the dock, so it can always be done.
