I hate to spoil the fun but Jagged Fel's CE wont work on Vader because while being a pilot he's not a follower. That would've been sweet though! Vader is terrifying none the less.

Confused my Gotals and though this was a disintegration squad at first, because I thought you were using Sidogram to keep rerolling til you got a 20.
Then I puzzled for a minute about if you can GMA with a Merc and I think yes, you can, if there was no available target from the starting space. This takes us back to our discussion of these same guys from December, and we ruled yes there. Curious what Gandalf would say but I say yes.
Quite sure. The principle is addressed in the FAQ with Cleave and Bodyguard. If your character attacks an enemy, but a different adjacent enemy bodyguards the attack and dies, your character defeated an adjacent enemy (via Bodyguard) so you still get a Cleave attack. The reverse is true for Retaliatory Barrage.
Nice squad! Could consider swapping Kota for Han Solo in Stormtrooper Armor and more Uggies. Would lose Force Repulse and the defense boost, but not sure how important the defense boost is considering it is probably a good thing if the Uggies self destruct.
I just think you need to hide Yularen in a corner here, if he gets killed early you're gonna lose half your damage output and you really want that recon to make Palaptine pop. And 20 Damage shooters get 40 damage off a Deadly Attack crit, the Pilots only get 20 damage anyway.
That ARF will only doing 10 less damage a turn anyway.
Probably not worth it here, but an interesting idea for the future that you've put in my head! I can see Xizor, Nyna Calixte and Arica coming together somehow for the ultimate counterespionage squad.
Looking at this I have desire to see an AT-RT in here, but I know that's not the point.
I do think you might want one ARF so you're not risking Yularen for the Recon. ARFs just recon so much better. It'll just cost you one Uggo and a Pilot and you'll be so much safer. Yularen can't go to the front line here, he's too vital.
Nice! I like this because Lord Vader can save force points for other things instead of assault. this is nice for Arica since she always gets extra damage haha.

Tarkin's CE affects the player- "you can activate up to 3", not the characters.

I feel like this needs at least one Mandalorian Scout with Opportunist to complement the Gunslingers' Cunning.

I saw your question in the discord. Yeah they can pop out with GMA and go back plus reroll evades.

Damage redirected with Bodyguard still counts as being from an enemy. Resistance Han and Chewie rely on the same mechanic to get barrages
by Mando

Fun thought: If Ponda dies to bodyguard, he wasn't killed by an enemy; therefore no Retaliatory Barrage.

very nice. I always think Xizor is a bit overcosted at 40 but it does enable Arica and the Storm Commandos to be much deadlier.

The only real way of giving her accurate is with Prince Xizor, but thats 40 points just to buff Arica.
