Our latest battle report should be live at this time, with a focused fight between the Republic and the Empire. We have Carter playing the Republic and George with the Empire, both are highlighting the recently released new units. For the Republic, we have the Clone Commandos, and for the Empire, we have Range Troopers. The video is available on the YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/jt_UDzecJeE.
Both units are solid and intimidating, though in this particular battle the Range Troopers came out on top.
I think the Clone Commandos are a good addition to the Republic, though they are already a rather strong faction. This provides an option for more solid close-range fighting with some unique abilities. Especially in sets of 3 units, I could see them influencing the field quite a bit.
Range Troopers are correspondingly very strong as well, both with a solid range advantage and a surprising amount of mobility. Their spur makes them decently fast, and the Indomitable removes the extra suppression just as quickly. Long range and solid strikes with weapons, along with a little bit of armor, makes them a mobile firing platform. I can’t say that the Empire needed more options – they already have by far the most – but the unit certainly has its uses in the army.
