Great video! Only suggestion is to get a better backdrop/mic and maybe talk slower. That said, I couldn't ask for better content. This is the best and most clever tactics channel out there.
Creature troopers can be chosen by Rapid Reinforcements, which can allow them to surprise the enemy by deploying in unexpected places, or places where they are extremely well-hidden and positioned for turn 2. Doing this with a Comms Jammer Tauntaun could cause serious disruption to you enemy. Doing it with the Uplinked Tauns could allow them to benefit from Leia's No Time For Sorrows or Luke's My Ally Is The Force two-pips, regardless of where they are on the board. This is commonly called "Deep-strike Tauns." Depending on the board and the list you're facing, it can be very powerful.
Great question, and you are correct that they can’t pick up the boxes. The reason they’re good for Recover is because they can disrupt your opponent so much that you can typically use a different unit (ideally Sabine) to grab the center box and make a run for it. They also have the potential to harass your opponent’s “safe” boxes in the backfield. ~Mbweha (Ben)
You have to be very up front with your opponent at the beginning of the game regarding expecting to go all six rounds in two hours, and then politely remind them to keep the pace up frequently. If Legion moved to chess clocks, though, this would be a non-issue. I've played with clocks many times, and find it way better for competitive play.

“so since it takes a couple turns to punch taun taun’s to death, you should do it at the end of the game”
that got me lol-ed
Loved this video. I’m
New to the game and your videos have been very helpful.

Why is rapid reinforcements so important?

I had this same question
Why is recover supplies good for tauntaun lists? I thought they cannot do the claim action

Don’t accept slow play! Games should not go 4/5 turns!
Isn't this something that's almost impossible to avoid, even when calling a judge?

@@TeamRelentless great advice. This is a real problem in tourneys. It's not often malicious to slow play, but it is an issue
Totally agree I played at a small event this weekend and I lost my first game of key positions 2-1 but it only went to round 3. 🤔
@@darrenmcnally82 Ugh. Welcome to Team Chess Clock. ;)
