The Thin Beige Line
OOM ‘Command Squad’
The next squad I assembled includes the OOM series battle droid upgrade. This droid becomes the unit leader and boosts the range of the units ‘Coordinate’ ability.
For this squad I intentionally chose more stationary poses in order to represent its commanding role in the army. I even included a couple of droids ‘standing to attention’ to flank the unit leader.
As the OOM series droids are distinguishable by their yellow markings, it made sense to use the Averland Sunset I had used as the unit leaders colour, for this squads spot colour.
This unit will fulfil a mid field role, where their extended coordinate range will allow them to pass orders backwards or forwards to otherwise out of reach units.
As they won’t always be where the action is, I’ve opted to equip Alpha Squad with the E5’s as their heavy weapon.
With a range of four, a red dice and the Critical rule, this is probably the most versatile weapon available to the B1’s and will ensure this unit can always contribute a couple of dice to the fight.
