The Fail effect reads, "Damage 3 vipers in space areas or in the 'Reserves'."

Is that: damage 3 vipers in space, and do damage to ones in the "Reserves" if there aren't 3 in space;

or: Current player has a free choice from among all undamaged vipers, which to damage?

(This is an issue in a PBF game I'm moderating: there are 2 vipers, one piloted, in space, and plenty in the reserves, and the players are deciding whether to try to pass the check, or tank it.)

Currently player chooses from among all undamaged Vipers. Absolutely nothing on the card suggests that the damaged Vipers must be taken from space if possible, so I don't see why this is even a question.

Answered in UFAQ:

Quote:
Q: In Training Snafu, it says "damage 3 vipers in space areas or in the reserves". Do you chose a location? (i.e., can you pick space areas if you only have 1 or two vipers flying) or do you just lose three vipers and have to choose where they come from? Can you split the loss between space areas and the reserves (must you if you don't have at least 3 in space areas?) (thread)
A: (Corey, FFG, to infocynic) The current player makes the choice of which 3 vipers to damage. You can mix and match from any vipers on the board or in the reserves. (By implication, I take that to mean that you will always damage 3 unless there are not 3 available to damage. You can't get out of damaging 3 by choosing space areas when there aren't 3 there.)
