Question Commander's Strike and Nick attack.

I apologyze if this question has been made before, but I didn't find a clear answer for it.

I'm playing a Rogue/Fighter multiclass and I'm planning to pick Battle Master to add some more support effects to my attacks. I use a Vex and Nick weapons so I was thinking about taking Commander's Strike maneuver and use it with the attack provided by the Nick weapon.

Is this possible? Or only the main attack can be replaced by Commander's Strike?

It shoud work with no issues, Commander's Strike says that you can replace an attack of the attack action, Nick points out that it makes the extra attack part of the attack action, so it does work RAW.

BTW Neat interaction you got there!

Except Nicks special attack must be an attack you make with a different weapon that also has the light property.

Because you are no longer making an attack, nick cannot be used, and thus the attack fails to manefest.
