Special Abilities

  • Quadruple Attack (On his turn, this character can make 3 extra attacks instead of moving)
  • Greater Mobile Attack (Can move both before and after attacking. This character can make extra attacks even if he moves this turn, but he must make them all before resuming movement.)
  • Platoon 30 (For every 30 points of damage currently on this character reduce the number of extra attacks generated by special abilities by 1. Attacks that deal over 10 damage only deal 10 damage to this character. This character takes double damage from abilities that affect adjacent squares and characters in squares adjacent to this character take no damage.)
  • Imperial Command Reinforcements 25 (During setup, after seeing your opponent's squad, you can add up to 25 points of Imperial Commander characters to your squad)

Interesting take, however this would most def not represent an entire battalion. Id say simply change the name to Stormtrooper Squad, and change the Battalion SA to Squad or something similar. A stormtrooper battalion would take up the majority of the map (if not overwhelm the entire map), not just 9 squares. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Battalion/Legends

Yeah well I did ponder going the colossal route but for game purposes sizes are rather abstract anyway, so it ended up as huge for some playability. I didn't want to go with squad as there are already squad abilities and the key ability here works far different. So just think of it more abstractly like half the rules in this game already require. ;) Perhaps Platoon would suffice (though Battalion sounds so much cooler)?

Platoon would be workable. make it gargantuan with a special rule that it can infact ignore terrain it normally couldnt squeeze past. (i.e. it can squeeze past 2 square wide areas. Id up the damage output, or give a we bit more surviability/damaging options. after all if it is to represent a platoon (38 troopers and their equipment) i could see some granades, and missiles. maybe add a very small amount of healing to represent their medic. could also make this thing a staggard activation.

A Battalion represents at a minimum of 544 troopers at the minimum. There is 0 chance for collosal or even gargatuon to represent that. IT would have the firepower of 1000+ points. The best 200 point rebel squad would be decimated by the combined might of an entire stormtrooper battalion. (Stormtrooper http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Platoon/Legends

After some more thought, I assume you are pairing this with Vader? Vader's Finest (stats somewhat equal to above) Add 501st Legion (for obvious reasons) then give it some pretty cool abilities, still change battalions name, I might remove the reinforcements, and instead add grenades, missiles, a small bit of self healing to represent a Squad of Vader's Finest (or Vader's Fist which is the 501st). could add bodyguard as well as that would be logical and stormtroopers are just meatshields to Vader.

Reinforcements is necessary to make use of the Epic Vaders CE. I will add a bit of survivability though.

do you think that adding greater mobile would bust the cost on this guy? I think it would really rep that platoon pretty darn well if they could move a bit and shoot (4 times).

If I gave them GMA I'd definitely take off Accurate (and the Flavor text). How do you like that platoon ability now :D

I LOVE IT! and yea I would, they are storm troopers, the only time they were accurate is when they were shooting a VERY VERY VERY LARGE Sand Crawler. :P Take that Accurate shot off and give them GMA. You know you want to.

Scaled down the reinforcements to fit 2 commanders in instead of three to compensate for the power boost of GMA.

I like the concept and execution here. Flavor is good, too.
