Strategy
By Carl 'Mike' Hardy, Red 32[1]
Hey look! Its a Swiss Army Trooper.
That's right, Folks! You too can have your very own Swiss Army Trooper. You just deploy one of these babies on one of your troopers (sold seperately) and you can wow your friends by having that trooper carry and use any number of weapons and devices. Yes, Sir! Put a few blasters on this fellow with Blaster Proficiency and watch the sparks fly... Toss in a Crack Shot to really add to his combat effectiveness.
Not just weapons, but any devices as well. Want to use your Electrobinoculars and a Caller in the same turn? You got it! With Echo Trooper Backpack on one of your troopers you can carry and use 'em all!
But, that's not all. The trooper is now immune to attrition of less than 3 if he's at a planet site. This greatly enhances the survivability of your investment.
So, what are you waiting for? Equip your troopers with the Echo Trooper Backpack, today!
Red 32's Combos:
= Now the trooper's got two weapons he can actually use. Use the Lightsaber in a Force Drain, then turn around and use the blaster (much cheaper to use, and more versatile) in a battle. Or, heck, use both!
= Watch the Dark Side avoid this trooper like the plague!
= Rambo.
Rulings
