3. I never would have thought of making an article on something from the pocketmodels. Good job.--Exiledjedi 18:58, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
4. Before CAs, I had the onerous task of trying to make sure these battle groups were added in and/or were accurate. Thanks for helping with these, excellent work! Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:22, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

   • Should 4 BBY be 4 ABY?—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 15:50, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
     • Remedied. NaruHina ^Talk 17:11, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
   • Also, the article needs a BTS.—Axinal ^{Convocation Chamber} 15:51, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
     • Added. (There's that feeling again) NaruHina ^Talk 17:11, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

   • Needs to have the same standards applied as I mentioned concerning the 221st nomination. That is, the characteristics need a separate category from the article summary, the bts needs to be reworded to avoid stating that a specific TIE Crawler is being represented in the game. No blaster upgrades, though, like the 221st had. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 08:07, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
     • CAs do not necessarily need to be subsectioned. Made the change to the BTS you asked for. NaruHina ^Talk 17:40, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
       • Good enough for me. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:22, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
         • One last thing (sorry). Blue is such a relative description of color. One of the battle groups actually has dark blue stripes that are strikingly different from the shade of blue on the century tanks of the 88th. Can you specify that these are a light blue? The same would go for the 221st. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 04:31, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
           • Also, the 88th used stock century tanks, and the other assault groups used century tanks that were modified in some way depending on the group. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 17:19, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
             • What the explicit source for them being stock crawlers? The card doesn't say that. NaruHina ^Talk 21:25, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
               • The 88th TIE Crawler miniature is without added equipment icons, and the stats are basic. In order to keep games balanced between two or more players, WizKids used a formula to derive "stock" values for certain miniatures. Then, they would modify one or two of those values—in addition to adding extra equipment—when creating other miniatures of the same type. This was to create a variety of common and uncommon units that a collecting player could use in a game without being required to possess powerful rare miniatures. In this instance, 88th TIE Crawler units are the standard and the 71st Elite, 221st, and the 98th Elite are modified and upgraded in different ways. If you type "Mechanized" at the bottom of the search box in the official gallery of the units, you will see what I mean. Having the 88th as a baseline could be something that could also be mentioned in the Bts, now that I think of it. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 15:15, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

   • Just a heads-up, but unit redirects to an article about a Sith battle group. Gethralkin^Hyperwave 02:51, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

1. I have uploaded an image of a TIE Crawler from the 88th and posted it on the Talk page (same with the 221st). Gethralkin^Hyperwave 01:43, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
