Grand Admiral Thrawn Commander Upgrade card from SWM 38 Upgrade Card Collection

Card Text[]

Choose command dials for this card after deploying fleets.

At the start of each Ship Phase, you may reveal and discard 1 dial from this card. If you do, until the end of the round, when each friendly ship activates, it gains 1 additional dial matching that discarded dial.

Rules Clarification[]

When a friendly ship gains a command dial as part of Grand Admiral Thrawn’s effect, that ship can spend that dial to gain a matching command token or spend it at the appropriate time to resolve that command, but the ship cannot resolve the same command more than once during its activation.

When a huge ship reveals its command dial, it only gains a command token matching the dial it revealed. It does not gain an additional token matching the command dial gained from Grand Admiral Thrawn’s effect.

A ship cannot discard a dial it gains from Grand Admiral Thrawn’s effect to discard raid tokens assigned to itself.

Grand Admiral Thrawn’s effect cannot be resolved to place facedown command dials on this card if the ship it is equipped to is set aside before fleets are deployed, such as by Hyperspace Assault’s Setup effect.

Thrawn-dials

The player reveals the upmost Command Dial of his ship and gains another, matching the discarded Dial from the Commander upgrade card. In this example he reveals a Squadron Command and gains an additional Navigate Command.

A matching command token can be combined with both command dials, to enhance the effects.

The Upgrade Card Collection will feature an updated copy of this card, making use of a blue bar indicating starting resources, in this case 3 Command Dials.
