Commandos and suppression

By Varulfr, in Rules

Just a clarification question. Rebel commandos have 2 courage and low profile. Am I correct that they need to be suppressed to activate low profile, i.e. 2 suppression, or do they just need a suppression token i.e. 1 suppression? If the former, would duck and cover be worth it on them?

1 suppression token is enough. Low profile triggers if the unit has light cover and having at least 1 suppression token improves the cover of the unit by 1, regardless of the unit's courage.

Taking duck and cover is useful for them as even if they don't have suppression, when they are attacked you can give them 1 suppression token and they will have heavy cover even if they are out in the open.
