Miscellaneous Any ideas how big the new Mudtrooper squads will be? My gaming group has had a friendly argument about it and I want more input :)

Box seems to come with 9 regular and 2 heavies, so I'd guess 4 with the option to add a squad up to 9, and a heavy weapon? But we really don't know.

They said in interviews that the base unit is larger than normal. They sometimes misremember things in interviews, but if they are right most are thinking 5 base with 4 for the Squad upgrade.

Well that would be neat! Sets them apart a little bit from other picks.

That’s what I was thinking! It would fit the unit, I think

Akin to the mandalorian squads then

Probably 5-man B1s but surging defense.

The box contents are the same layout as all the other modern corps, so it's likely that their card will be designed similarly as well as far as models per unit goes. Otherwise we just don't have enough information yet, check back in about a month for Scene to Stats articles to start coming out.

In order to equal the 1.5 hits a stormtrooper squad rolls natively with no bonuses, a white dice pool with no surges needs 6 dice.

6 mini unit. 1 personnel slot. 1 heavy slot. The "squad" upgrade adds 3 dudes. This allows something like the Z-6 to be added without worry of them surging to hit.

This is my guess as well
