The next sets of cards I got were the ones for the Galactic Republic (clones). These follow the same set up and are of the same quality as the earlier set I reviewed. Same two sets of command and unit decks.
The unit cards come with cards for each unit type and the specific upgrades for those specific units (no generic upgrades).
The unit cards have some nice artwork on the front side with the points and all the upgrade icons. On the back side you have all the stats for the individual units.
Just like the others, you get three core units cards, two for the specialists and support and one for the heavy units. So, if you want to min/max, you will need two decks. You get all the clone units in the army that have been released so far. You do not get the new range trooper, which is disappointing. All the specialists and the rookie units. Once again, more mercenaries and they are Pikes and swoop bikes. Seems you get the later with all the sets, so they are the easiest to collect.
The upgrade cards are also rather bland. All monotone… Some color would be nice… The points are on top, with a big icon in the middle, description on the bottom half with the title at the very bottom. Same size as unit cards, so better for hand holding of deck, worse for display pages, as they take more space.
The command cards come with all the various leaders, their special equipment and command deck cards.
Same artwork quality for the commander cards. The format is just like the unit cards. Still no description of the key words, so keep your rule book close by!
The set comes with the full set of released Republic commanders and operatives. It does include the newish Bad Batch and both Wookie options.
The upgrades are once again the ones specifically to the individual commanders and does not include generic upgrades. In the example above, you can see all the character upgrade cards for the Bad Batch, which are individual upgrades, like before.
Finally, we have all the command decks for the characters. I like these the best, as all the information is on one side of the card and they include nice artwork to easily tell them apart! There are a number of changes to the old decks (I do not know the game well enough to recognize all of them). All in all, a nice set. While I would not say they are perfect, I feel they are still a great game aid and it is nicer to have the well produced cards over printing them your self. However, I guess that is a personal taste decision for each player!
