Squad Leader Archive

Yes, yes.

We ARE a combat Class. I find it a little hard to be looked up to by my squad when I personally am hitting for 200. /blush

I believe the adition of a SL-only weaponis great.

But here is another idea:

How about special SL "grenade" type weapons that SHAKE THE GROUND when used and causes all enemies currently being attacked to fall down? Or how about an electrical impulse device that we can throw on the ground that attracts all enemies (animals) to it. That way, The squad can easily surround it's enemies. This does NO damage, but forces the group to unify in formation and location. (That would be great for a retreat!Make SL kind of a "Galactic McGuyver" or a gadget weilding 007 type leader. These weapons dont cause damage, but would be an AMAZING help and a lot of fun to use.

What are thoughts on this? What other devices can we come up with that are GROUP BENEFIT?

I think a smoke-screen grenade would make a useful Squad Leader gadget. Something that greatly reduces the enemies chance to hit. I think this would be very useful when used in cunjunction with the /retreat command.

Another useful Squad Leader gadget might along the lines of the earlier mentioned electronic pulse, but for this one I am thinking of something like an ion grenade that renders all enemy weaponsin a certain area to malfunction for a turn so that everyone in the group gets a free shot, kind of an area effect disarming shot.

An area affect knockdown grenade would be a lot of fun to use.

I was really hoping for some creative ideas here.

I think the concept of "gadgets" so to speak, or "leadership tools" is a good one.


Bring on the ideas, fellow SLs.
