Clan Wars - captain skills reset after 1st battle

[Captain_Dilbert]

Does anyone really know what this cryptic WG note actually means???

NOTE: Between February 10 and 16, all players who will have played at least one Clan Battle will be able to reset Commander skills and mount the required upgrades for free.

It means that you won't have to pay doubloons to reset your captain skills.   The only criteria is that you play one clan battle (clan wars starts tonight).    Once you play a clan battle match, the doubloon cost of skill reset goes to zero.

Same with the ship upgrades.   Normally, 25 doubloons to dismount from a ship.   Once a clan battle is played, you can dismount the upgrade module for free.

 

My question is whether that applies to every captain, every ship.    I think it does.  Will have to play a match tonight.

There is nothing cryptic about it. It clearly stats between 2/10-2-16 resetting captain skills and demounting modules are will be free to players who have played at least one match in clan battles. Not sure how they could make that more clear.

Honestly, this is how I initially read the note but then started thinking "is WG going to allow me to play a single CW battle and then reset all 75+ of my commanders for free as well as change all my ship modules for free?  So it doesn't see that crazy that WG could clarify the statement as follows:

NOTE: Between February 10 and 16, all players who will have played at least one Clan Battle will be able to reset Commander skills (on any commander) or (on the commander that was used in Clan Battles) or (on all Commanders assigned to a tier 10 ships) and mount the required upgrades for free (see previous caveats).

 

This type of clarification would be very nice because it allows people to actually properly plan ahead (or realize that they only need to play a single Clan Battle before they can turn their AA spec Montana/Des Moines/Moskva etc. into a proper clan wars build without spending lots of doubloons/credits/elite commander XP/free XP.

I don't think their system can limit the free respec/modules removal to a single ship or even a single tier of ships. I think limiting it to players who played clan battles is the narrowest they can get it. 

Last season the free respec was on all ships/captains and was available to everyone.

With all those factors, I feel quite safe assuming the free respect will be for any/all ships/captains. My clan has already planed to run some goofy team loadouts (all Khabs,etc) to start just so everyone can get in their one match the first night to unlock the free respecs.
