Name: Battalion Commander Rex
Suggestion: Give 501st a Riot Trooper With a Shield.
Implementation: A new job would be added to the 501st called Riot Trooper equipped with a 501st DC 15A, DC 15S, and Riot Shield.
Lore: In the battle over Ringo Vinda you can clearly see 501st troopers using shields to push forwards with DU.
Workshop content if applicable: We already have the riot shield on the server and the model would be easy because we'd just pick from one of our extra models.
Add or Change: Add Riot Trooper Job
Job: Riot Trooper equipped with a 501st DC 15A, DC 15S, and Riot Shield.
Model: 501st Trooper 5
Weapons: 501st DC 15A, DC 15S, and Riot Shield
Other: To those who would say "Attack battalions don't need it" I will say this shields like the ones seen in the show and the ones I am requesting are used for the purpose of covering infantry units from ranged attacks as they moved forward. This tactic has been used historically by the Romans in their Testudo formation where shields would be used to make a box and cover the top and front to move the infantry forward in mobile cover for the purpose of attacking. Riot control units use a similar formation using riot shields to cover police infantry to not only force back rioters but also to prevent projectiles from being thrown at the infantry. In both of these cases the shields are used as mobile cover which is how I would have shields be used, they would be used to build cover for us in MHB and Artillery room so we are not so exposed - Acorn/Rex
