Command Cards and Cover

By Shadow345, in Rules

This might be in the rulebook or in the cover thread but I will ask here anyway for simplicity.

If you are in cover do you get the cover when being hit by an attack from a command card such as Leia or Veers?

From what I know (or think I know lol) you would get cover if it is a ranged attack, which in Leia/Veers command cards like Coordinated Bombardment • & Maximum Firepower • are ranged attacked made by them. However, since it is from them they both specifically have the keyword Sharpshooter. Sharpshooter X reduces cover by X. Leia has Sharpshooter 2, reducing cover by 2...the highest it ever can be = no cover. Veers has Sharpshooter 1, reducing cover by 1. So maybe if in heavy cover/light cover with Low Profile keyword they then would have cover 1 removing one Hit dice result in the Apply Dodge/Cover step.

They are normal attacks from those characters in all respects and use all of their abilities.
