For your questions
1) I am pretty sure it works.
2) No idea about this one...no idea why not though.
3) There are no other restrictions that I can think of. | |

It should work on the AT-ST for each Imperial Officer you have, with no restrictions regarding activations or whatever. Way back in the days of Rebel Storm (only), I had a pretty nasty squad with Heavy Stormtroopers and Imperial Officers. | |

It does sound awefully overpowered (and absurd) to field an AT-ST with a plethora of officers and a stormtrooper commander base to base with it...

Not really. While Imperial Officers are nice, they are rather expensive and fragile.
When facing a squad like you mention, I would focus on taking out the support structure for the AT-ST... | | | |

| | 10/27/2005 10:27 PM | Alert | Imperial officers still have 30hp's...so that's minimum 2 shots on each and they have cover from the AT-ST (and terrain) so you typically can't shoot them unless i am mistaken with the rules and/or the imperial player is dumb enough to move the officers in front. In the mean time, the AT-ST take pot shots for 50 on whatever shows its head (+8 to hit isn't that bad at all)
By the time you finally get rid of the support, it will most likely have killed a large chunk of your own team. But since you seem more experienced...what squad do you use to be able to counter that?
Even with a hero that does 20 dmg per turn, it'll take him 12 hits (!)...this almost makes General Grievous Jedi Hunter like a good idea. | |

| | 10/28/2005 12:46 AM | Alert | | Anyone with a lightsaber and multiple attacks should be able to run up to the AT-ST and chop it down in pretty short order -- those characters often have high defense and special abilities (lightsaber deflect, etc.) that can give the AT-ST a hard time. | |

Accurate Shot- don't leave home without it. Or at least bring Sniper. ΖD]

+8 ain't that great when you can't combine fire. Base em with fodder- make em waste that extra 40 damage or move and lose that Double Attack. And with careful positioning, you can make that rigid huge base a real drawback.

Really depends on what faction I am playing and what I brought to the party, since I don't make "hate" squads.
But like Kith said, Lighsabers are an AT-ST's bane. Plus high Defense. If I knew I would be facing an AT-ST then CS Mace, R2 & a Merc Commander would likely be at the top of my list. (but that is sort of like Ketchup- goes good with everything)

No problem.
I just hope WotC posts it some time soon- that way I can reference an electronic copy at work- I get a lot fewer strange looks [)] | | | |
