Veteran Captain with Boarding Troopers Timing Question

By KrisWall, in Star Wars: Armada Rules Questions

Hello all. I'm a sloppy, forgetful player. I'm trying to build a list that takes that into consideration and cuts me some slack.

In that vein, can I use Veteran Captain when I reveal a command to gain a squadron token which I would immediately discard to activate Boarding Troopers?

"When you reveal a command, you may discard this card to gain 1 command token of your choice."

"When you reveal a command, you may discard a squadron dial or token and this card to..."

I'm not using the slot for anything else and 3 points would eliminate the need to keep track of tokens. I'm hoping the rule effectively give me...

"When you reveal a command, you may discard Veteran Captain and Boarding Troopers to..."

Since they both happen at the same time you get to choose the order in which they activate, so yes. :)

Sweet!
