______________________________________________________________

Character Bio - Members of the Rebel vanguard division provided protection against enemy air and ground units and reinforced friendly ground forces. As part of the SpecForces' 6th Regiment, vanguards were heavy weapon specialists, and it was they who operated the blaster emplacements, missile launchers and other heavy weapons that were used against the Imperial war machine. When assigned to a taskforce, members of the division served as both gunners utilizing heavy blaster weaponry or vehicle-mounted weapons and Vanguards utilizing shoulder-fired missile launchers against both air and ground vehicles.

Choose a non-adjacent figure to attack. Before rolling attack dice, you may choose to either have the targeted figure roll 2 fewer defense dice or have all figures adjacent to the chosen figure also be affected by this special attack. Roll attack dice once for all affected figures. Each figure rolls defense dice separately. This Rebel Vanguard may only use this special attack once per round.

I haven't tried it, but a couple of these guys in an Ewok build with C-3PO could be a lot of fun.

2x Rebel Vanguard 150
C-3PO 50
Ewok Hunters x4 240
Logray/2x Ewok Scouts 60

On a map with trees, I would take Logray. Big explosion, little explosion, lots and lots of Special Attacks.

Otherwise Scouts to keep regerating Ewoks.

These guys arent unique.

That's right, but the rules about Uncommon Heroes say they are treated like Unique Heroes except for the fact that you can have more than one. So they can be used for the bonding with the Ewok Hunters.
