| Seems like using clone troopers is a waste of points. They have a good attack and a better to hit but I still think they are too expensive.
The sith emperor, a scout trooper and four storm troopers seem like a good way to go.
Or three elite storm troopers and a regular storm trooper with him also looks good to me. Could substitute one of the storm troopers for a royal guard but I figure fire power is more important. | |

| | Most of the squads I've played or played against using the new Emperor used Stormtroopers. I could see how it could be limiting in a 100 point game, most of the games I play are 150-200 points. | |
Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| I've just played 100point games for the sake of time. We can play a hundred point game in less than an hour at gamers gathering then move onto other types of games or new skirmishes with new players.
Same with DDM.
The higher point games would offer a lot of interesting options but I'm happy with my quick kill games.
Taking the AT-RT pretty much eliminates other figures in the 100 point game...I think you can squeeze in an ewok.
The sergeant might be a nice option.
Emperor
clone trooper sergeant
scout trooper
4 storm troopers
As for the ARC. Has the errata come out allowing him to be used along side the emperor? I haven't checked. IF so it could be nice to use but with the emperor being such a powerhouse I'd go for lots of cheap fodder to get the emperor in close to do his slice and dice thing.

Clone trooper sergeant might be worth something:
Hitpoints: 20
Defense: 14
Attack: +10
Damage: 10
CE: troopers crit on 19-20
Will this commander effect affect stormtroopers as well as clone troopers? | |

| The rulings are pretty literal minded. So if it just says trooper then it should affect any figure with the name trooper.

Excellent, with that being the way of it in DDM as well I was fairly sure, but then again the little differences in the games have surprised me before. | |

Latest Jedi Counseling said that ARCs would not be subject to Order 66.
Course, the Jedi Counsel has been over ruled before ΖD] | | | |
