So with the new update clones got some point changes and rules changes meaning it's time to make a new list with the tank. This one still uses R2 mostly because R2 is still good for his points and keeps my tank moving and could score secret mission. I also think when your only commander is rex and he's dishing out all the orders aggressive tactics is still worth it.The rest is pretty standard for clones with the only notable change being fives to help maximize our usage of aggressive tactics. I will probably brew a list with aayla as the commander when the rest of the republic command cards come out but for now this looks like where we stand. Let me know what the rest of you think of the list and what you are brewing with these new changes to republic.

i think that my 1 Tank List is going to be this until the new command cards arrive

796/800
Padme Amidala (Strict Orders, Situational Awareness)
Phase I Clone Troopers (RPS-6 Phase I Trooper)

Commands:

How do you play with only Padme? Don't you need a Commander?

New rules allows a field commander to act as our commander. So in this case our commander is the saber tank.

Not till the Clone/CIS specialist unit come out in January. Clones/CIS only have access to 4 neutral command cards now.

For now CIS/GAR can do it as long as they take an operative too

True. That fixes that.

I’m working on a similar list:

Tanks RTs
783/800 (9 activations)
Operative:
- R2-D2 (45): Comms Relay (5) = 50
Corps:
- 2× Phase I Clone Troopers (52): DC-15 Trooper (27) = 158
- Phase II Clone Troopers (62): Phase II Mortar Trooper (20) = 82
Special Forces:
- ARC Troopers Strike Team (27): Fives (36) = 63
- ARC Troopers Strike Team (27): Echo (40) = 67
Support:
- 2× AT-RT (65): Laser Cannon (10) = 150
Heavy:
- Saber Fighter Tank (170): Aayla Secura (5), TX-130 Beam Cannon Turret (30), High-Energy Shells (8) = 213

• Blast Off!, • Synchronized Offensive, •• Push, •• Impromptu Immolation, ••• Assault, ••• Smoke Screen, •••• Standing Orders

thats a lot of long range stuff there, every unit has range 4 or longer weapons except R2 and Fives, i have never liked Fives and Echo on strike, teams, they die too quickly, I would say that as you have plenty of points you should move them to the Phase 1s and put the DC15x on the strike teams, Fives Coordinate doesnt really go with the way that the strike teams work, he does go quite well with the Corps units and their fire support though

The list looks great, but Im not a fan of R2's command cards... Some of the command cards for Rex, Padme and Obi-Wan can swing a game by themselves.

I generally agree with the exception of "Blast Off!" only because it sometimes it can be the difference between scoring secret mission or not.
