UPDATE: Barrel-Roll and Bank-Roll Actions

The "Barrel-Roll" action will be updated in the upcoming revision to the MSMecha Tactical Battles Rulebook.


The MSA-011 Gundam Ex-S is clearly out of range for Primary Weapon firing of the RMS-141-3 Xeku Eins v3, but with the use of the "Barrel-Roll" action, the Xeku Eins can get on the Ex-S's six in one move.

The new rule for Barrel-Roll action in the MSMecha Tactical Battles Rulebook (v2.0.5.a.2) on page 8 reads as follows:

"Use of a Barrel-Roll action (if available per the MSMecha Card) will allow the MSMecha to “Barrel-Roll” using the #1 straight OR #1 bank template and will allow the removal of one enemy lock-on.  Use of the “bank-roll” will add one stress token to the MSMecha."

The Xeku Eins v3 performs a slow #1 turn to the right to get into position for the Barrel-Roll action.
After the Xeku Eins v3 performs a "Bank-Roll" (with the #1 bank template) to the right, it ends up on the Ex-S's 6 O'clock position for the point blank shot!  A stress token would then be applied to the Xeku Eins v3.
