If you're not being strategic about your unit placements, you may as well just go play Men of War: Assault Squad 2, Galaxy at War mod and do the Remains of Endor mission in the Empire section, 'nuff said.

Or just use cheats.

i gave up on the specialist pretty early on XD

I always forget to move my sharpshooters to new positions as the game goes on. They just end up sitting there at the front of the map waiting on permanent overwatch. Needless to say, this can be an issue on evac missions.

Early sharpshooter: THIS IS SO AWFUL, I CANT EVEN USE MY SNIPER IN MY NEXT TURN
Late game sharpshooter: pistol turns? better damage at the cost of aim? needing grenades? what are you talking about?

Man it is amazing. There must be sharpshooter version of this

He specializes in using the gremlin.

If he does two things, how come he is a "specialist"?

Early Game Specialist: I can't do ♥♥♥♥, and my aim sucks.
Late Game Specialist: Watch me pwn the ADVENT network, and no one gives a damn if I aim or not.
