When looking at these squads, please note I only have RS-BH pieces. Any pieces I don't currently own but am thinking of obtaining are marked with a {*}.
--Katarn's Commandos-- 31 Kyle Katarn 19 New Republic Commander 14 General Rieekan {*} 20 New Republic Trooper x2 9 Twi'lek Rebel Agent {*} 7 Twi'lek Scout {*}
(100pts. 7 activations)
Am I right in understanding that Rieekan's CE applies to all of the other characters in this squad? Also, is there really no range for this effect? If so, the idea for this squad is to have great mobility and high defense and evasiveness. Kyle and the Twi'leks would attempt to work their way up to the enemy's side of the map trying to stop within cover whenever possible. If Kyle chooses to not move and make attacks, he would combine fire with the Twi'lek Rebel Agent and deal out 30 damage. If I keep the Scout close by, then he would have +16 attack. The NR Commander and his Troopers would hang out as far back as possible while still having a LOS to enemies and do as much damage (20-30 points a piece). Rieekan could be put out of sight to keep his CE in play as long as possible, sacrificing his Recon SA.
Let me know if my logic is sound on this and what your thoughts are for a 100-PT skirmish.

It seems to me that you would be better off with your squad being mostly stationary, clustered in cover with the Twi'lek scout nearby. That way your Troopers get +8 Attack when not moving, and Evade will help them keep alive. Kyle can either rush up or use his Accurate Shot to deal with pesky enemies, with a +4 attack from Rangefinder that balances out the target's defense from cover.
Of course, I don't really play competitively, so I could be completely wrong.

I decided to make a 150pt and 200pt version of the above squad. I'm done designing squads for these factions for a while. I'd like to take a shot at a Pure Fringe and a Pure Imperial squad next.
--Katarn's Super Commandos-- 31 Chewbacca with C-3PO 31 Kyle Katarn 19 New Republic Commander 19 Princess Leia, Hoth Commander 14 General Rieekan 20 New Republic Trooper x2 9 Twi'lek Rebel Agent 7 Twi'lek Scout
(150pts. 9 activations)
Command Team: Rieekan, Leia, Chewie/3P0 Hang out near the back center of the map. Gains cover from and combines fire with the Fire Team. Chewie/Threepio can draw fire from ranged attacks and use Momentum/Cleave on enemies that try to flank the commanders.
Fire Team: NR Commander, NR Troopers Find cover in the center of the map. They will gain defensive, attack, and damage bonuses along with Evade and a chance of being restored to full HP from Leia.
Mobile Team: Kyle, Twi'lek Rebel Agent, Twi'lek Scout Find cover near the middle of the map and adapt to enemy tactics accordingly.
--Katarn's Uber Commandos-- 31 Chewbacca with C-3PO 31 Kyle Katarn 19 New Republic Commander 19 Princess Leia, Hoth Commander 17 2-1B 17 Bothan Noble 14 General Rieekan 20 New Republic Trooper x2 18 Twi'lek Rebel Agent x2 14 Twi'lek Scout x2
(200pts. 13 activations)
Command Team: Rieekan, Leia, Chewie/3P0, 2-1B Hang out near the back center of the map. Gains cover from and combines fire with the Fire Team. Chewie/Threepio can draw fire from ranged attacks and use Momentum/Cleave on enemies that try to flank the commanders. 2-1B would heal any of them as they take damage.
Fire Team: NR Commander, NR Troopers, Twi'lek Rebel Agent, Twi'lek Scout, Bothan Noble Find cover in the center of the map. They will gain defensive, attack, and damage bonuses along with Evade and a chance of being restored to full HP from Leia. Bothan Noble will heal any injured characters and grant one of them to make an extra attack.
Mobile Team: Kyle, Twi'lek Rebel Agent, Twi'lek Scout Find cover near the middle of the map and adapt to enemy tactics accordingly.

I'll have to play test this, but it looks sound.
