casabianca

Casabianca's SA says "You can only use Secret Cargo once per game."

Does this mean once in total for the game, or (thinking wishfully) once per Casabianca per game?

I would interpret it to mean once per Casabianca per game.  If you can get more across, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use them.

I think it just refers to that unit. But you can always ask on Gleemax.

I'm seeing it the opposite way and here is my reasoning:
- It pretty clearly states that "you can only use the SA once per game", not "this unit can only use Secret Cargo once per game".
- Identical SAs don't stack together.
- This SA is meant to reflect an ability/history of a single particular unit not something representative of the entire class.

That being said, who knows how they will rule this...  I have been surprised by many of the past rulings...

Edit:
Just looking at Nordmark's Repair SA... The same question would apply for her as well.  Per unit or once per game total?  I'm still reading it as Once per game total, regardless how many Nordmarks you bring.

I'm sure they meant once per casabianca per game. Their wording was as sloppy as their graphics this set  Rolling Eyes

Roger that - its the same as a cargo/convoy ship concept - victory points for each unit that reaches an island on the opponent's side of the map.

Your grammar is correct. But I have a very strong feeling the intent was otherwise.

But what about Kondor?  It seems clear that each Kondor should be able to use its own antiship missile once, not one antiship missile for all the Kondors you bring.
swarbs

Kondor says, "once per game, this unit..." which is pretty clear, use once per unit per game.  It was the wording that made me give it a second thought.

Sounds like another question for WOTC_Huscarl.  Smile

Very possible, I'll even say more than likely.

In short, once per game per Casabianca.
Aquarius

The same kind of sloppy wording affects the Le Terrible. As the card says it, no ship in your entire fleet can take an objective the turn you use this ability, vice only that ship not being able to take an objective.
