Im pretty sure these event squads can have specialist in so it has some utility.
Well in lonefighters, you can use an engineer with a machinegun- no other squad can do that

To be really honest with you I’d rather have an event squad (in this case engineer) with the same composition as TT engineer squads
Getting hodge podge of whatever specialist DF decided for you sucks when compared to having 2x AT and 4x engineers
Welp i dont really play custom games so this squad is practically useless
The engineers are good in that they can build everything except the ampulomet. However they are even more unique because they can build an LMG as well as a HMG.
I already got assault engineer squad btw so this squad is less desirable. I migh find it useful had I not have assault engineer.
That’s a fair comparison. Assault engineer squad is probably overall better. Unless you like using HMGs.
Still waiting for the day they allow us to customize these goofy doofuses into normal looking soldiers. I will never use these squads until that day comes, they will forever rot in my reserve otherwise. I am not running around in the pacific while wearing samurai armor.
What’s funny is now that the Japanese are getting the Ofenrohr, that dude will be rocking samurai armor with a gas mask.
It was possible to edit them at first, but then an update came which blocked that off completely after people started crying about accidental cosmetic changes they couldnt remove. Well they could just fix that instead of blocking customization but it is what it is

I won a similar squad I think in the Halloween event last year. I won the level two German Paratrooper squad several days ago, and hoping to win another but I’m not holding my breath. The only complaint I have is why Dark Force is not offering ALL paratrooper squads with changeable weapons like the Soviets have. I have a level one German premium paratrooper squad I had to pay for and I was using it at level one, two and three, but now only level one since I have this one for two and three, and I have another level five German paratrooper squad.

Do not worry, I got a portrait, and an Italian saber.
And very few silvers 
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I can get either the Universal Carrier or the Soviet Paras. But I doubt I can since I have already gotten 3 squads from the boxes, I doubt my luck is so good to get more.
I wasn’t going to keep playing, and in actuality, my girlfriends 15 year old son played the event the day I won the paratrooper squad. So, after that, I have been playing hopefully to win something decent, but mostly just decorator or portrait crap that to me is completely worthless as they don’t improve my game situation.
