The Holocron of Rebel Captain

[Arch-vile]

Are you using them with Leia? I think Rebel Troopers need Leia plus a Rebel Captain or two to be truly formidable. You're right that they have to give the first strike to their opponents. They make up for that with a large number of powerful (once boosted) attacks.

Leia can also help force your opponent's STs to come to you. Leia can shoot at them without fearing there 1 attack and pick them off.

Not really, IMO. Stormtroopers would just shoot at Rebel Troopers and not care that Leia is killing one per turn.

I usually use leia with obi wan, and fill in points of captains x2 and troopers. The duo of obi wan and leia hold the stormtroopers at bay and allow the rebel troopers to get in range of leia and maybe take some high ground. Obi even screws with their order markers, allowing more movement and attacks from his allys

If your Rebel Pod is set and Leia moves out to attack the Stormtroopers if they attack Leia back it won't do them any good and forces them to, like you said, go fight the Rebel Troopers in whatever favorable location you have chosen to set your pod up at. As T-REX pointed out, Obi-Wan can also help this as well as Mind Trick.

A question came up when my wife and I were playing last night. On the Rebel Captain, does the phrase "At the end of your turn, place the Hold Steady marker on the troopers army card" or whatever it is, does that apply whether you move 6 troopers or attack with 4 troopers, or does it only apply to the second choice, as the formatting would seem to imply.

It applies to both the two choices in the middle are an either-or choice, while the end statement applies to both. Interestingly though, if you have the Rebel Snow Troopers and Rebel Troopers activated, you must choose which squad gets to hold steady.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but every time I download this PDF and then try to open it, I get a message indicating it's the wrong file format. If anyone could help me with that I would greatly appreciate it.

Sorry about that. I had uploaded a zip file instead of the PDF. It should work now.

Fixed the links to the card images, but I don't remember what the "Alternate Image" was. @mac122 may know.

The image is of Capt. Antilles being choked by Vader. It's around here somewhere. I'll find it and repost.
