______________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Maximillian Veers was a ruthless and aggressive officer who enjoyed wreaking havoc with the destructive Imperial ground forces, but was also an honourable frontline commander who was not opposed to putting himself in harm's way. These traits earned him the respect of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Darth Vader for his courage under fire, as well as a promotion to Major General. Just weeks after his promotion, Veers had his forces pared down by ten percent, yet efficiency had risen by 50 percent.

General Veers' most notable success occurred at the Battle of Hoth. Veers rapidly deployed his armored regiment, Blizzard Force, into the Echo Base mountain valley, then personally destroyed the shield generator protecting the Rebel base.

Wait, to use Ground Tactics Expert the turn ha to be taken with General Veers? Or rather can I use Armored Support then use Ground Tactics Expert, so I can activate my AT-ST and a couple of Stormtroopers?

Armored Support is instead of and GTE is after, so no, you can't use both in the same turn because if you use AS, you gave up your turn to take a turn with a vehicle.

Fixed. Thanks for the heads-up.

Am I correct in thinking that an OM on this card either gets you a turn with a vehicle OR a turn with Veers and 2 squaddies?

Correct. The couple times I've played Veers, I put all 3 OMs on him several rounds. It provides a lot of flexibility in your gameplan.

That saved me in the HoSS Online Tourney, as I was able to move either AT-ST in my army as needed. It's a very powerful tool.
