Timing of Coordinated Bombardment and Maximum Fire Power

By SlaveOne, in Rules

So i did my best to look this up and have found contradicting statements... in one case from the same person, wont name names :P

Anyways im sure this has already been fleshed out by the community but as a new player, im scratching my head.

Basically im trying to figure out if Leia or Veers can do a normal attack action then do a bombardment. Obviously this is dependent on the timing of the respective command cards.

So does "at" in the wording infer its after the activation or during. And the below from the reference guide doesnt do much to clarify. Notice the word At in the "When" definition and After in the "After" definition.

• If the timing of an ability uses the word “after,” that ability’s effect occurs immediately after the described timing event has occurred.

• If the timing of an ability uses the word “when,” that ability’s effect occurs at the exact moment of the described timing event.

OK i did some research and it seems from the article i was able to extrapolate the answer:

Finally, Leia Organa’s leadership skills are on full display even when she’s working on her own. Although the Coordinated Bombardment command card only allows you to issue orders to Leia Organa, it does give you a good chance of going first. If you activate Leia Organa first, she can carry out her normal activation, then launch three attacks against different enemy units at Range 4 or beyond. This gives Leia Organa the potential to send the enemy army into disarray with four straight attacks before it even has the chance to activate a single unit.

You are giving it too much thought. Note that both Coordinated Bombardment and Maximum Firepower tell you that you can make an attack, not attack action . The restriction is that you can only make one attack action per activation, but an attack that is not an action like the ones of those cards doesn't count for that restriction because as mentioned, they are not actions.

Meaning that you can make an attack action during the activation and at the end of it also make the extra attack/s from the command cards.

Yea, i think i overthought this one as you said. Thanks for the clarification.

Look at it this way, most command card sets give an opportunity to make more attacks than you normally would in a turn on one of the cards.

Coordinated, Maximim, Son of Skywalker, Implaccable, And now you die, Whipcord launcher. Only Han is left out. But Han shoots first, not twice I guess. 😜

With Gunslinger Han always shoots twice, first. 😜

only if there's a legal target.

But you are technically correct...which is the best kind of correct.
