Interesting. A Mandalorian fodder piece.
Thanks for posting all of these, btw.

Somehow, Mandaloian "fodder" doesn't seem to fit in the same sentence. Unless this fig is a child, I'd guess that even teen mando's are at the minimum this level ... a full adult Mando is a real warrior and probably a lot better than this.
On top of that, a Mando Commando is 1 point higher with 30 more HP's and a better D and Attk. The Militia representing teens and really old Mando's? OK, but he should be lower than 12 when compared to WOTC's Mando's .....

But the Supercommando doesn't have Advantageous Cover nor Accurate Shot (although he can gain the latter - for 57).

Somehow, Mandaloian "fodder" doesn't seem to fit in the same sentence. I agree. Without getting into Traviss's Mando culture (which makes me queasy), WotC has currently cast the Mandos as a fodder-less faction. For generics, stats are in a pretty tight range (HPs are 40 to 70; Defense is 16 to 18; Attack is +8 to +10). This guy is categorically too low on all stats, while paradoxically having two excellent special abilities! I'd rather see him go away and be replaced by maybe a Sharpshooter or something (same special abilities, better base scores). |

I'd rather see him stay.

Thoughts on Surfrider's comments?

I understand where surfrider's coming from and its something I thought about when I made him. However, there's not much to do with this character. Although he probably is the cheapest Mando, he isn't meant to be a fodder piece (and at 12 points, he isn't very good at doing that).
He is meant to be a sort of 'trench' trooper, if you know what I mean. And his stats sort of reflect that idea.
However, I do suppose the stats are a bit low for a Mando. Perhaps I should raise them?

Well, if you want to keep him in the style of the existing Mandos, the stats (and therefore price) should definitely come up.

This reminds me of the Sith Blademaster discusscussion from a week or two ago. It's not necessarily the stats that bug me as it is the name. If you want to keep "Militia" in the name he has to be significantly weaker than your average Mando. If you want to keep the stats as is, maybe call it a Mando Recruit or something that signifies he's a warrior in training with some skills but not a full-fledged warrior yet.

Once again - we have a Mandalorian Cadet who's little better than a Stormtrooper in the database.

While I like the idea of a "trench warrior/sniper", I still stand by my feeling that WotC doesn't intend (currently) for there to be "fodder" Mandos.

I suppose there "might" be a militia of sorts, kids under 12, older retired Mando's over say 65? Weaken it considerably or ....... |
