I dont know if this belongs in the customs or not if it better fits there a mod can move it right? any way me and mostly my friend (illusive viper) have been working on this game type and critqueing it so it is fairly balanced so here it is tell me what you think give it a try love to here some stories
SQUAD ASSAULT!!! (Name is up for change if you have an idea for a good on)
Rules. 1. All commanders are considered unique(so bounty hunter works on them and from here on out when i say unique i mean them to) 2. 100 points 3. Faction Pure 4. You have 30 points or less to spend on 1 Unique Figure 5. The rest of your points must be spent on non-unique figures under 15 points but they must all be the same figure (for example if u choose rebel trooper all u can have is rebel troopers, 181 pilots u get a bunch of 181 pilots) (and the same name so no rebel trooper and then a heavy rebel trooper) 6. reinforcements/reserves are allowed but they must be spent on figures under 15 points and the same figure (they dont have to be the same as ur previous figure). 7, Gambit is normal and all maps are allowed.
Examples. Here are some example squads to kinda give you an idea of what exactly we mean (just incase you are confused)
Squad 2. Bith Black Sun Vigo 20 Kel dor bounty hunter 13 kel dor bounty hunter 13 kel dor bounty hunter 13 kel dor bounty hunter 13 kel dor bounty hunter 13 kel dor bounty hunter 13 total 98

It's a fun gametype that isn't as competitive as most of the others, and the big plus, you get to use those 30 stormtroopers/ewoks/bespin guards that you have but never use.

actually you cant because it has to be faction pure, the mouse droids are fringe but the commander is sepretists so you cant do it

I'd pick IE Thrawn and 5 Shock Troopers or Xizor and 7 Aqualish Assassins if I were playing this format.

Could be abused in quite a few ways, some as shown by ED above. Those squads would just own, say, the Wat Tambor build mentioned above. But in a casual game, it'd be a lot of fun.

ok so we have made our first errata to the rules lol
instead of 35 the max is now 30 for the "unique" this was made to get rid of Aniken on stap and Arica who had the potential to hit and kill way to many targets.
thow this stil allows for xzior but honestly its a nice squad in this game type but it doenst destroy all other squads the melee one the aqulish means u have to postion urself well to survie making it fairly fair
still looking for critques im sure we can improve it some more

We did this over the summer. It was alot of fun. You get to pull out pieces you don't normally see. We dubbed it troopers. There is a similar format I think people call pauper which has no uniques.

I like it, its nice to get out those little pud guys now and then and center the game around the smaller pieces. I would prolly use the squad that i first used when starting the game(the good old days when i knew nothing) clones and Amidala, mobile clones is always fun
