  • Game effects that reroll, modify, or otherwise affect combat rolls do not affect dice rolls made when resolving the AMBUSH ability.
  • If a cruiser or destroyer is removed before the Mentak player can resolve their AMBUSH ability, that ship cannot be one of the ships used when they do resolve their AMBUSH ability.
  • A ship may cancel the hit by using its SUSTAIN DAMAGE ability, if present.
