I'm a noob. Yes, proudly a noob. I came to this fun game waaaay late, after Wizards announced the cancellation. There is a lot I don't understand.

I'd love to see some more articles explaining squad building. A lot of the posts in the Squad Building section seem to take information for granted, probably because a lot of you have been playing for years. Yet to a noob such as myself, quite a bit goes over my head.

I would love to see articles lay out how exactly to do a "Thrawn Swap" or explain using "Double and Twin Attacks" or explain "Super Stealth."

Anyway, thanks for listening. May the Force be with you... always.

Take a look in two different places in addition to here.

www.SWMGamers.com - articles are linked on the main page, and you can mouse over and click on them. Some have some formating errors today, but they are still readable and useful.

Second place we've stored a lot of them are on www.the-holocron.com. Nickname has many of the great articles written over the years on there still.

Edit - made them into links.

Bill is right - lots of good stuff at those two sites.

Of particular note: the Stealth and Line of Sight guides on the Holocron are must reads, IMO.

Super Stealth Basics

I wrote that article quite a few years ago, and since then, the number of ways to grant super stealth, and to counter it have changed. But some of the information is still useful.

There's some 2009 articles specifically on squad building here:

This was an article that helped me out incredibly as I first started in the game last year. It opened my mind to using special abilities and the idea of swap squads.
