Star Wars: Shatterpoint – CT-411 Commander Ponds Preview
It’s time to send in the clones! Meet the Advanced Recon Force led by CT-411, aka Commander Ponds.
Commander Ponds leads the ARF Clone Troopers in this new preview of an upcoming squad pack for Star Wars: Shatterpoint.
For those who enjoy replicating historical squads, Commander Ponds and the ARF Clone Troopers are the perfect choice to accompany Jedi Master Mace Windu, as they did so ably in the Clone Wars. Together with Jedi Master Windu, Ponds and his ARF Clone Troopers participated in a number of key battles, including retaking the Twi’lek homeworld of Ryloth, as well as seeing action on Geonosis and Malastare.
Commander Ponds
Commander Ponds is perfect for getting his troopers forward and into position. He’s got abilities that support moving up and staying in a tactical advantage. Just because he’s able to rush up the board doesn’t mean he’s going to be defenseless either!
Once the shooting starts he’s also packing a punch with his various attack options. And, naturally, the Clone Armor he wears isn’t exactly paper thin either. He’s a great fit with his ARF Troopers.
ARF Clone Troopers
As a supporting Unit the ARF Clone Troopers are really there to get the work done. They aren’t as flashy as a Jedi but they are going to score your the objectives and push your side to victory.
The distinct role of the ARF Clone Troopers can be better understood by looking at their Recon Force stance. While primarily a ranged unit with particularly high accuracy, ARF Troopers can competently engage in melee when pressed. Their Combat Tree emphasizes tactical options over pure damage output but can still deliver punishing shots, also gaining early access to inflicting the Pin and Shove conditions, and the choice of Exposing or Disarming the target. That’s our first look at Commander Ponds and the ARF Clone Troopers, soldiers who stand ready to accompany Jedi leaders like Mace Windu on their missions, scouting ahead into hostile territory and paving the way for reinforcements.
They might be clones and some commanders might view them as disposable, but that won’t stop them from doing their job.
