1 seems a bit low! With Accurate and Deadeye for 15 points is not that bad, even on a fragile piece, IMHO:-)

I understand your point, yes there are much better options! I was just saying IMHO might be a 2, but no big deal! BTW I enjoy all your reviews and all the work and thought you put into them:-)

Always the weakest vigo IMO.

Direct hard counter to accurate shot on a figure that does very little outside it.
I preferred The_Bith that actually was a decently offensive piece around the same time (perhaps a couple sets later)

I'd say more like a 4, maybe even a 5. You can include them in a solid tier 2 squad. With an Arkanian Jedi General and an Old Republic Commander, they double greater mobile at a 10 attack for 30 damage x2. You'd probably include Carth Onasi, Old Republic Soldier in that squad as a crazy 200 damage cannon, and Admiral Oteg to make many of the Old Republic Soldiers attacks a +14.

Might look like this:

30 Arkanian Jedi General
29 Carth Onasi, Old Republic Soldier
27 Lobot
24 Admiral Oteg
23 Elite Gunner
18 Old Republic Commander
14 Old Republic Senator
24 Old Republic Soldier x3
5 Old Republic Guard
6 Mouse Droid x2

(200pts. 13 activations)

I think you're right - I forgot that they get Double Attack from the Commander, and that the Rookies don't, so they do work fairly well in that squad. I think 5 is justifiable for that.

Elite Supercommando, from Command of the Galaxy





The Elite Supercommando is a Mandalorian scrub that's relatively self-sufficient - with Sniper, Twin, and a relatively high attack already on its card, it doesn't fit into the usual Mandalorian builds, which are generally built around the Mandalorian Captain for Twin or the new Neo-Crusader pieces. It even has Beskar'gam, so it's sturdy for a 25 point shooter. The one thing it's arguably missing is Mobile, so it can keep out of LoS, although it can pick that up from the seldomly used Mandalorian Commander. Sharron took it to the Top 4 in the recent NZ National tournament, in a build that has Mandalore the Lesser to give the Supercommando its synergy bonus and Snare Rifle.



The Elite Supercommando is a very strong support shooter for 25 points, and I like the design a lot; it encourages creative squad building, since you can't just throw it into a standard Mandalorian build. 8/10.

I lost to a couple of these (along with the new Obi on Boga) in the latest NZ Vassal Regional. Naasty...

I love the Clone Trooper with Flamethrower. He has a really low rating on the bloomilk character page (in my opinion) Cheap flamethrower that sets folks on fire? Yeah they are fragile as heck, but I think they are so neat. An 8 or a 9 on here sounds bout right to me.

Kyle Katarn, Jedi Battlemaster, from Legacy of the Force





Han Solo Galactic Hero and R2/3PO Galactic Heroes seem to be the premier options for Disruptive in a New Republic squad now, but there was a time when Kyle Katarn, JBM was a major factor in the meta. 140 hit points of Disruptive is a lot for squads that are reliant on Commander Effects to get around, and he was a major problem for squads like Skybuck; he's a huge spanner in the works for melee-based squads that are reliant on Commander Effects. Han Galactic Hero islargely self-contained with GMA and Evade on his card, while Kyle has the same potential damage output (60 damage), but needs commander effects in order to inflict damage on the move; he can either get Evade from Wedge and GMA from a TBSV, or Greater Mobile from Luke Galactic Hero. Kyle can also gain Force Renewal from Luke Force Spirit and Opportunist from Jan Ors.

Even though Han has less hit points than Kyle, he is a more efficient piece - as well as his self-sufficiency, he can shoot and also brings Never Tell Me The Odds to the table; although Kyle does have some useful offensive powers like Grenades 40, Force Grip, and Riposte, he really needs Wedge's ranged defense to shine, while the best New Republic squads often revolve around pieces with Stealth and Evade built in, so that they don't need to spend 23 points on Wedge's limited offence. Nonetheless, Kyle was a big factor in the pre v-set meta - he notched up a couple of wins in the 2010 Regional season, including this squad:



It does feel like the New Republic has stronger Disruptive options at the moment, and Kyle has largely been left in the cold from the competitive game. But he's still an intimidating prospect with his hit points, and array of offensive skills, and I think he could come roaring back into contention if the meta shifted in a way that suited him, 7/10.

The issue with Kyle is the amount of points you have to invest in him in order to have his ranged defense sufficient enough to do what he needs to against some of the stronger guns in the game.

You also have little initiative control with him in the squad without investing in an mtb. Because you need to invest points in his range defense without taking up too many points from the initiative control engine you end up with a squad that has fewer options than the other NR disruptive type squads.

I think both of these really make him cost prohibitive in a game where cheaper pieces are getting stronger and stronger.

He has been given some interesting options with Jan Ors upping him to a 90 dmg potential, which is not to be sniffed at, but i think the 24 points you need to invest just to give him evade is a tough sell these days and as the cornerstone of any squad you put him in, he really needs it.
