So, this game up in a "practice game" I was playing against myself.
Four ships attacked The Great Hall, and the player discarded To Be Or Not To Be to damage all ships in that battle. The player was using a Battle Bridge and doled out default damage of two tactics to all four ships.
What happens if the tactic kills the only leader on a ship? At some point during initiation of a battle you select which ships are attacking which targets, and you must verify there is a leader on board.
TBONTB is a "just" reaction that afters AFTER initiation of the battle. So it starts doling out damage after the player has already verified they have a matching personnel and a leader aboard. Now that leader gets killed.
Can that ship continue in the battle and fire its weapons, since the leader was already verified in initiation?
If not, is the ship stopped because it still participated in the battle, or is it "kicked out" of the battle and not stopped?
What if the personnel killed was the only personnel aboard and the ship is empty after the tactic hits?
What if personnel removed is the ship's matching commander, and I have Captain's Log in play? (Assume the ship still has a leader and matching personnel aboard.) I'm pretty sure in this case the ship loses the CL bonus because ATTACK total is added up later in the battle.
OH let me add this too: If I'm returning fire, (there are ships at The great Hall) do I have to select my target before I discard TBONTB to dole out damage? I'm pretty sure that is a YES because initiation includes selecting targets for return fire which would happen before you can discard TOBONTB.
