Here's a thing that came up in my last game: Imperial player has used Maximum Firepower. Veers is engaged by a rampaging Luke, Veers then falls back. Can he make his bombardment attacks? We went with no, because the attacks are at the end of his activation, not afterwards, and the withdrawal rules are pretty clear that it cannot perform any other actions. However, we felt there is some wiggle room as to interpreting the bombard as an "action", and so I wanted to bring it up with the crew here. Thoughts?

Oh, that's an interesting one.

I think you have it right. Withdrawal on page 46 says "[...] cannot perform any other actions, including free actions, or resolve any abilities during its activation." (I think the bolded part removes the wiggle room you refer to.)

I agree, "at the end" is not the same as "after". It's still during the activation, but has to come after all other abilities are resolved. So Veers is still within his activation as far as timing goes. So shouldn't be able to resolve Maximum Firepower after withdrawing.

@nashjaee is right, "at the end" of his activation is still part of the activation itself, so by the rules of withdrawal, he cannot make the attack from "Maximum Firepower"
