Clone trooper with night vision? Seriously? I know that ideas might be starting to get thin, but come on.
But yes! Not one, but two commando droids in this set! And a captain to boot. If they have stealth and are fairly cheap, I definantly plan on using GGDAC, BDO, and Commando Droids squads.

You shouldn't be afraid to play the good pieces, everyone should have good pieces available to them. I am very happy with the rarities, and besides Worm Loathesome for a Battle of Christosis scenario, I don't see any very rares that I want (this will probably change once I see the stats).

Wedge and Rieekan. They've worked before, and I don't see any reason why they'll stop working. At least, not for me. And, failing some nasty CE popping up in GAW, they still don't have mobile attack so if they shoot you, you'll be shooting back. I do really hate these one-sided sets, though. Is it too much to ask for a mini from another faction to make all of this marone and silver a little less nauseating?

Or use a really fast mini to run up and blow the Roger Roger droid's head off. Now the Double/Twin, +8 atk 24 def mice are powerless.

though, I think droids would fear direct dmg far more, one well place flamethrower push or lightning and the droids are toast.

If you're buying SWM as a monetary investment, you're buying into the wrong game.

This set could have been so much better. "Galaxy at War" is a title that would have worked splendidly for a set that concentrated on the NR/Vong era. And all we get are more seps and Republic. *sigh*

I really wish that we could get a set competley dedicated to NR/Vong a la GAW & the other Clone Wars sets, but untill they get their own t.v. show... we are stuck w/what the kiddies want... On the bright side, I honestly feel that the Clone Wars will run out of steam eventually, and that WOTC & LucasArts will have to start exploring other eras in order to breathe new life into StarWars... here's hoping... Don't get me wrong, I like the Clone Wars... it's just that they're ancient history... almost all of those folks are dead... I'd rather keep up w/what's going on in Luke's Jedi order...

Im tired of hearing that this is not a money game, this is just as much a money game as WoW, Diablo 3, DD, Axis and Allies. they prove that there is money in gaming, and if people want to make money out of it, go for it. those same people who are selling minis are the same ones who are Buying the Boosters and cases, and inflating wizards economy. if they make a little something extra, good for them.

I agree w/Mandalore... I've been around gaming since the original D&D came out (along w/that the first pewter minis... remember those?), and there is a ton of money to be made. Like Mandalore said, it's very easy to support your own mini habit (as I call it) by selling & trading...

Munitions Supply (giving your whole squad Grenades 10) is a great thing to combat those pesky Mouse Droids. Missiles is another way.
PS...Roger,Roger is a Special Ability (per the rules insert) and therefore not extended by MDs.

Two chances to either kill or activate a droid, maybe even an Elite Clone Trooper Grenadier. Of course you'd have to get in range for grenades, but the splashing is nice for each.

Muahahaha!! Fear the mighty droid army! Fear it! Even if there is still a whole bunch of ways to beat them, fear them!!!
To be honost, when GGDAC came out along with the Chameleon droid, a ton of people were like: "How can we ever defeat Separatist squads now?" and then said things like droids were too overpowered. And then Riekeen, Crix Madine, new Thrawn, Rex, and a whole bunch of others came out and people weren't complaining anymore. Same thing's happening here. As soon as the next set or two comes out, the issue will go away. That, and with what's currently out there and of what we know for Galaxy at War, droids are still far from unstoppable.

Ig has a point. i dont see anyone using chameleon droids.

Maybe Clones with night vision will be able to see Chameleons.
It may be a little stupid, but I like the variety of clones. Night vision, repeating blaster, 501st, Finally! Call me what you like, but that has me excited.
