I seem to recall an idea posted a long time ago (don't remember who to give credit) something along the lines of after each initiative, the map space shrank by 1-2 squares all the way around. Anyone in those squares was automatically defeated (might have had a save 16). Encourages a rush to the center of the map even for commanders for sure.
I love the hero squad ideas. I do that restriction sometimes for myself just for fun when building a squad. We did one time play all for oneself battle on the same map using the squads below. Everyone rolled a die and got the squad that matched the number. Whoever killed the most points won.
We've played scenarios on the arena map (either one) with two activations entering the map adjacent to the door each time (up to four players each at the gated entries) so the whole squad does not start in play. High roll for initiative MUST go first round 1.
Darth Vader, Champion of the Sith Stormtooper x10 11 activations
Asajj Ventress Battle Droid Officer Super Battle Droid x6 8 activations
Count Dooku Battle Droid Officer Battle Droid x9 11 activations
Han of Hoth Chewbacca of Hoth Hoth Trooper x6 8 activations
Luke, Hoth Pilot Unleashed Wedge, Red 2 Rebel Pilot x6 8 activations
Jabba, Crime Lord Bib Fortuna Gammorrean Thug x2 Nikto Soldier x3 Weequay Thug x3 Amanin Scout 11 activations
Princess Leia, Senator General Dodonna R2-D2 / C-3PO Elite Rebel Trooper x4 Rebel Trooper x6 13 activations
General Kenobi Clone Commander Cody Utapaun Trooper x5 7 activations
Anakin, Jedi Ahsoka Clone Trooper x6 8 activations
Lando Lobot, Computer Liaison Cloud Car Pilot x2 Bespin Guard x10 14 activations ----------------------------------------

Hey Squid89, since you said you wanted feedback on the scenario battles you have for SWMBattles, I've been trying out the battle for Teth scenario (since that's the one I have the most pieces that match what's needed), and I've found a little problem with it. On the side where the Separatists set up, the two Vulture Droids take up so much space, that there's no room for the Dwarf Spider Droids. Just throwing that out there.
As for play feedback, I substituted Obi-Wan, Jedi Master for GOWK entirely just because I wanted to and I thought that Jedi Master was going to be too easily defeated by the combined power of Ventress and the Vulture Droids. Unfortunately, that made it almost entirely one-sided since GOWK just sat in front and either blocked every shot at him, or most shots missed. So maybe there's some middle ground for the right Obi-Wan? (maybe Obi-Wan, Jedi General stats, but GOWK piece?)

That is one of the few that we haven't had a chance to playtest yet, so I will take your suggestions into consideration when we run some play-throughs. Hadn't thought about the setup area being an issue with so many columns. Probably just have to move forward one more square with the Starfighters and start the Dwarfs right behind. I'll start a new thread for future feedback so as not to highjack this thread too much :)

I tried a few other scenarios and I had a suggestion or two for other scenarios you could try to make if you wanted.

Madman posted a bunch of good ones. You should also listen to the SWMiniverse podcast (see the podcast forum here or go to www.swminiverse.com). Those guys have come up with a bunch of ideas also.

I was just gonna mention the podcast, actually, but you beat me to it! Every episode that I've listened to so far has really cool scenarios that they play at their events, and I've even started planning to introduce some of them at my gaming venue. =)
