Hello!
You cannot swap troopers around in Special Operations - the squads are what they are!
Additionally, tagging is not necessary - myself, the developers, and the rules moderators are always here answering questions! 🙂
The card's special rules reference the placed small panther statues - however you should feel free to utilize One-Shot cards in any way you see fit. Counting the large panther statue should not cause any problems with how the rules are written.
Generally speaking you should feel free to model your miniatures however you see fit - this is your squad after all!
There are no official event rules for Special Operations as its not really meant for "competitive" play - We highly suggest what builds the best story and narrative for your games and what you enjoy most.
Hobby on!

It is currently a mistake in wording that would let them trigger nimble - this will be fixed in the update.
They are not aims so they would not benefit from Precise.
