We also go into some of their special abilities and rules that make them an exceptionally elite trooper everyone should try and include in their strike force.

Don’t drop in close to sixth sense troops kids.
This is a very cool idea. For the more detailed interactions you could do videos in the style of the old “how to play Infinity”, that would be perfect.

However, in that case, the AD: Tactical Jump trooper must enter the battlefield through the same segment chosen for the rest of participants.” It could instead read something like this: “Troopers with Levels 1 or 2 of Airborne Deployment may… Read more »
