The Clone Commander is a much-needed cheap commander option for the Grand Army of the Republic. Coming in at 60 points without upgrades, you just might want to field him that way to make space for more clones in your army. He's a decent shot, throwing 3 black at range 3 with Sharpshooter 1, and in melee he punches for 2 red, but it's his abilities you may want to use more than his attack skillz.

	He comes with '''Direct: Corps Clone Trooper unit''', which allows him to issue an order to a Phase I or Phase II squad for free every turn, in addition to what the command card does. Since you're definitely going to be fielding Corps Clones, this is a handy ability, and if you happen to have Fives (see ARC Trooper heavy weapon upgrades, below) in the unit, all the better.

	''DP-23 Phase I Trooper'' (23 pts.) - Adds a clone with a Range 1-2 gun. It has 2 black and 1 white attack dice, and '''Pierce 1'''. Basically a shotgun.

	''RPS-6 Phase I Trooper'' (21 pts.) - Adds a clone with a '''Cumbersome''' and '''Impact 2''' rocket launcher that fires one red, black and white die at range 2-4. Unlike most other missile launchers, it doesn't Exhaust to fire. Cumbersome means you can't ~~move~~ if ~~you want to shoot it~~, but ~~then~~ you can Aim and fire every turn (rather than have to spend an action recovering). Gives the Clones some reliable heavy anti-armor punch that they generally lack.

	Fives (36 pts.) - Unique. Designated CT-5555, or "Fives" for short, from the Clone Wars cartoons, he was known for his fierce loyalty to his clone brothers, even if it ran against the wishes of his Jedi commanders. He has 2 health, fires 2 black dice at range 1-3, increases the squads courage by 1, and becomes the units leader. He also adds the Coordinate: Clone Trooper keyword to the squad, meaning they can issue an additional order to another Clone Trooper squad when they, themselves, are issued an order. Fives is an amazing upgrade to any squad. Take him.		Fives (36 pts.) - Unique.

	For one turn, Rex becomes a short-ranged machine gun that's hopped up on goofballs. Note, however, that Fire Support only adds his weapon (the dual DC-17 blasters) to the pool; it won't add his built-in critical surge or sharpshooter. But three extra red dice on top of what your clones and Obi-Wan are already throwing is still pretty awesome, and he can just keep doing it as long as he's within range. Plus, he'll still get his normal activation! Just make sure he's the last unit you activate because he has to have his face-up order token to do it. Once you get a few of these shots off, your opponent is sure to notice and bring guns to bear on him, so make sure he's got some protection, too. ~~Thankfully, you have access~~ to ~~a ton of '''~~Guardian ~~x''', as a Clone player~~.

	~~The~~ errata ~~done~~ this card ~~dirty. Deeply hurts~~ the ~~efficiency of~~ this ~~card with~~ the ~~requirement~~ to ~~perform an aim action~~ to benefit from ~~its effects~~.		This card was originally very good- but the 2.0.2 errata rewrote it so that the unit needs to actually do an Aim action prior to shooting to receive the range boost (the original wording was that the unit needed to simply have an Aim token- which it could get from, for example, ARC troopers or Rex moving and using their ''Tactical'' keyword). Having to do an Aim action first nerfs it a bit but it's still a pretty good command. Two things to note about this:
			* it doesn't specify that it must be the two units that get orders from the card- so units that get a face up order token by other means (HQ Uplink, Fives's ''Coordinate'', Clone Commander's ''Direct'', Seize the Initiative, etc) can benefit from this.
			* the range boost can have other quirks, like allowing your clones to throw grenades at speeders that have ''Immune: Range 1 Weapons'', or increasing Yoda's Force Wave attack to range 3. Because of the way it's worded, Saber Throw would not benefit from the range boost, however.

	The Recover part may seem a bit puzzling considering he doesn't really have anything that requires readying, but don't forget that it also allows you to remove any number of Suppression tokens. Inspire 2 and Surge tokens are pretty nice, and you get four order tokens too (don't forget that Rex is considered a Clone Trooper himself). Particularly nice when Rex is upgraded with Aggressive Tactics.

	Obi-Wan is a defensive commander through and through. You want to keep him within range 1 of most of your army at nearly all times. After spending a Dodge token, being able to deflect in both Melee and Ranged is a humorous way to punish over-aggressive commanders and units alike.

Having a 2/3 chance to save against wounds, which includes a 1/6 chance to also deflect damage back is usually a better idea than depending on your expensive unit's base saves.

''Burst of Speed'' (3 pts.) - Expend to increase your movement speed to 3 for one round, and at the end of that round, gain an immobilize token.

	''Force Barrier'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust. When another friendly troops unit at range 1 is defending against a ranged attack, during the Modify Attack Dice step, cancel either 1 crit result or up to 2 hit results. This is amazing for boosting the durability of your units. Saber tanks somehow become even more annoying to deal with. Just be sure to have Anakin's 2-pip in play in time so you can make heavy use of this, or be prepared to spend an action doing a Recover.		''Force Barrier'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust.

	''Force Guidance'' (5 pts.) - Exhaust this to allow you to give a surge token to up to 2 friendly units at range 1-2, as a free action. This is a nice power since clones share tokens and having more is always good.

	''Force Lift'' (5 pts.) - When deploying, you may place a barricade at range 1 of you. During the game, exhaust and as a free action move one barricade within range 1 to anywhere within range and height 1 of its current position. Lets you bring heavy cover and drag it around the battlefield. Not a terrible choice to ~~held~~ defend Anakin or his clone buddies as they advance.

	''Force Push'' (10 pts.) - Exhaust this ability and spend an action to force a trooper unit at range 1-2 to perform a speed 1 move, even if they're engaged. Shove enemies close enough so you'll be able to smack them with your saber. A solid choice.

	''Force Reflexes'' (5 pts.) - Exhaust this card to gain a dodge token, as a free action. A good option to reflect a wound back here or there with Anakin's Djem So Mastery, and gives another token to share if you've gained Exemplar on Anakin already.

	''Saber Throw'' (5 pts.) - Make an attack action to perform a range 1-2 ranged attack with a melee weapon, using half of that weapon's dice (rounded up). Anakin doesn't have a ranged attack, this gives him one, effectively 3 red dice at range 1-2 with impact 3 and pierce 3. Made even better by the fact one of Anakin's command cards can give him ~~relentless~~.

Made even better by the fact one of Anakin's command cards can give him Relentless, and it doesn't need Anakin to have Master of the Force enabled yet. Where one of Anakin's commands imposes a penalty if you don't attack with him each turn, this is one of the more attractive upgrades for Sky-guy.

	''Overwatch'' (4 pts.) - Gain Sentinel, making your standby range 1-3. Anakin generally doesn't want to be sitting around on Standby. ''However''.... this could be quite useful in combo with Padme and her Exemplar keyword (or even Yoda and his 3-pip). Remember... you can use Standby tokens to make a free move action, and if Anakin has Relentless/Saber Throw, he can use those after a free move action too. There's some potential there and shouldn't be overlooked. But if you're not taking Padme (or Yoda) for that trickery, then this upgrade is usually going to be a pass.

	''Protector'' (5 pts.) - Exhaust when using Guardian to be able to cancel crits as if they were normal hits, and during the End Phase, ready the card. If you took Padme and gave her the Esteemed Leader upgrade, this could be useful for keeping her alive, but where Anakin can't use Djem So, this isn't even that great of an idea (unless you're just trying to soak a wound for Tenacity or Anger). Regardless, Padme is best suited to hiding in the back, out of view of the enemy; and Anakin doesn't have Guardian otherwise, so this is generally going to be a hard pass.

	''Seize The Initiative'' (5 pts.) - Single use. Commanders or Operatives only. During the Issue Orders step of the Command Phase, issue and order to yourself. This can be very useful, especially if it's a turn where you're scared he won't be able to make it into melee with one.		''Seize The Initiative'' (5 pts.) - Single use. Commanders or Operatives only.
