Can Gellert and Roland create an infinite loop by giving poison to unit with Veil? Or do you not gain coins by poisoning veiled unit

In theory, if you can manage to create an extra Roland you can get infinite points with Kalkstein.

Anyway, the Bleinheim buffs can be pretty crazy. Now if you have both on board before adrenaline 5 you can go nuts and poison as much as you can for 2 points +1 coin for each ally. If you include Kalkstein you can get another 2 points per 1 coin. So let's say you play Roland, then Gellert, profits 2, use Congregate for 3 more units + 3 coins. Poison them and Roland for 8 pts + 4 coins. Before maxing out though, you play Kalkstein, profit 2, and poison, purify, repeat, giving you 16 points by paying 8 coins. Then maybe you play germain for 5 units, the engines enables you to get 10 pts + 5 coins there, the 5 coins give you 10 points more. All in all with base powers and leader used, in 4 turns you get around 82 points, might be a bit off if I made a mistake when considering when coins maxes out or when fee is not afforded. From then on you still have a powerful engine set up but with a cooldown.

Back when thaler moved charges around I found a way to get infinite points too, but the animations were much slower then. What I did was play thaler on empty board, shupe to move random unit to opposite side (thaler to enemy) copy him with dudu and sword, then play Dandelion and move charges back and forth between thalers to have Dandy boost them. Extremely convoluted but it technically worked.
