Commander Czym

I guess my thought was that you had to spend the command (dial, token or both) to clear the raid at which point the “spent” command was discarded. But you’re saying that “discard” is different than “spend”. Thank you.

Another easy one, The scenario is a ship has a Squadron Raid Token on it. Another ship uses Comm Net to give that ship a Squadron Token. When the first ship activates it reveals a Squadron Command Dial. Now according to the rules on page 4. A ship can spend the dial and "other" command tokens during the command phase, but if the dial and token match they may combine to a single resolution of the command. So the question is; can the player spend the token to remove the Raid Token and then spend the dial to activate squadrons, or are the two combined, or just using one of them to clear the Raid Token, making the other useless as it would be doing the same command twice in the same phase?

Okay, this may seem like an easy one; On the boarding cards, both named and generic, it states that to use the card you have to use a command dial or token and discard the card. The question is, is the OR or the AND the keyword? A) So do you use the command dial, which has greater effect OR a token and discard the card to use the effect. B) Do you use the command dial or a token AND discard the card no matter which one is used to use the effect. My argument is that the command dial has a greater effect and using just that has a greater impact. As well as the cards taking TWO upgrade card slots. It would seem a waste to give up two slots just for a single use card. Unless desperate and using a token. Also the ships that can use them to greatest effect would have to plan the dials way in advance to pull of using a command dial. Whereas a token can be saved from turn to turn to get a the "single" use effect. Thank you
