Punisher Question Answered!!!

[SavageTofu]

There was a post on here recent asking about Punisher Frigade. I have
tried to post a reply but no post has shown up. I am not sure what
happened. Sorry if these end up in multiples. Here was the question:

"I attacked my friend's home region which had two Punishers. I had
five
ships, and he used the Patrol 1 on each of his Punishers to select a
target
for them.

The point of confusion was the text on the Punishers which states that
they
can't be targeted by more than one ship each targeting phase.
So...what
were my other three ships supposed to do? Attack the starbase? Sit
around
and pick their noses? Or could they add their damage against the
Punishers?

Here is a link that covers this question:

This was the answer surmised:

in the rulebook it indeed says:

Result Step (V):

When attacking a home region, al attacking ships that are still in the
region now deal their damage to the starbase, even though they have
already dealt damage to defending ships. If the damage is equal to or
greater then the total starbase shield, the starbase is destroyed and
its owner loses the game.

Puts things in different perspective eh?

I hope this helps.
