No. The Vanguard card has no bolster requirement. The Shock Tactics FAQ example that lists the Vanguard among tactics needing a bolster looks like a misprint (a player suggested the Raider was meant); the designer agreed in 2026 that the Vanguard needs no bolster, which overrides the printed example.
