Timing
This Squadron Card may resolve after you perform an attack. See below for Counter timing.
Counter & Salvo Interactions
If both players have effects with the same timing, the first player resolves all of their effects with that timing first. If two or more of a player’s effects have the same timing, that player can resolve those effects in any order.
If this Squadron Card belongs to the first player, this Squadron Card must resolve its effect and move before the Counter attack is performed by the second player.
If this Squadron Card belongs to the second player, the first player Counter would happen first, followed by this Squadron’s movement.
If this Squadron moves out of distance 1 of a squadron that will be performing Counter, the Counter will still resolve. Counter is NOT limited by attack range; it states that if you are attacked by a non counter attack, you may attack that squadron.
Counter is, however, impacted by obstruction. This Squadron may move in such a way that the subsequent Counter shot is obstructed.
Salvo uses the range and line of sight of the original attack and thus would not be affected by this Squadron moving into a different range band or into obstruction.
