I'm new to Starmada (and SFU as well) and would like to ask the community about the rules for Marines in the Nova Edition and if I understood them correctly:
Range attack modifiers are +1 (2 hexes), 0 (4 hexes) and -1 (6 hexes). Are there any other attack modifiers for marines, because the table on page 20 shows modifiers from +2 to -5.
Marine damage is done in reverse order, meaning last to first hull box. Does this mean, if there are shield boxes left, these would have to be hit with marines as well to capture the ship?
What about normal damage checked boxes? Do I have to hit these with marines too? Or is the ship successfully boarded, when normal damage checked boxes and marine damage checked boxes "meet" somewhere in the ship display?
Successful marine hits, which are checked of on the attacking ship's display, can be negated by defending marines on a one-to-one basis. I assume, these cancelled out marines won't come back to their attacking mother ship, will they?
Thank you very much for your help! |
