Its so interesting to see if you can have Vader ATST and speeder bikes for a competitive army. That leaves you only 3 stories to get objectives In my 2 full games that was not enough vs 5 reg troopers.

Use the non stormtrooper units to delete a couple of rebel ones. Now you can compete

Or drop the bikes for 2 stormie units.

Snowtroopers are likely to help with the objective grabbing. Their special weapons aren't looking super important, so they can keep moving up the table shooting for a pretty cheap price.

Don't forget that vader is a trooper unit too and is able to get objectives. But as scummyrebel said if you delete a couple of opponent's units it won't be to bad, I made An opponent's rebel trooper unit panic off the board first turn using the at-st mortor and primary fire for 2 supression tokens and speeder bikes for a 3rd.

Keep in mind that as long as the mortar rolls a hit, the defender gets 2 suppression due to the suppressive keyword, which can lead to turn 1 panics in the right situations.

.....isn't that what i said?

Regardless I liked the 3rd application of supression tokens just in case they cleared one when they do activate when rolling. (and not in range of their commander of course)

Ah, for some reason I read that as you fired your primary and mortar in the 1st round. That makes quite a bit more sense XD
