Veers and Leia Bombardment Question

By bswaim, in Rules

When using the Bombardment Command cards can use use a aim token if you have one from the normal activation on the bombardment at the end of the activation? If so where in the rules does it state this?

You can, because you are instructed to perform an attack. So just follow the usual steps of an attack.

The tokens are removed at the end of the turn and stay on the mini until that end of turn (not end of actvation) so a token you'd have gotten during your activation could be used after your activation if a game effect allows you to do stuff outside of your unit's activation.

thanks all!

And so for Leia, would one aim token be applied to all three bomarbardments?

...no? The card says "she may perform up to 3 attacks" - spending an Aim token is a step within resolving one attack, there's no way to make it apply to additional attacks being made.

you may use your aim token during one of the three Attacks made by Leia. Of course after you have used it, you may reroll dice for that attack, and not for the subsequent one(s)

I think the issue with these attacks and rules is that people assume they are more different from normal than they are. They are normal ranged attacks, except in the few ways specified (like getting to make three attacks). Unless specified differently, they operate as any other ranged attack. For example, they need LOS and aims apply to attack pools, not the whole attack. They are modified ranged attacks, not some new class of attack that needs to be defined ground up.
