This may have already been asked or covered but,
If I were to make a squad where every unit had stealth, and during the skirmish, no enemy was within 6 squares, and assuming they had cover. Would they be able to target any of my units, or would they have to be within 6 squares for them to make an attack?

Assuming no enemy had a way to get around Stealth, they would have to be within 6 to attack.

There are several ways to get around Stealth:

It's a Trap
Force Sense
Any attack that ignores cover: Accurate Shot, Lightsaber Throw 3 or 5, for example

No one would be a legal target (barring Accurate Shot), as no one would be considered the nearest enemy due to Stealth.

Since we are on the topic of stealth. If a piece has accurate shot, can they attack a piece that has cloaked, even if they aren't adjacent?

No accurate wouldnt work on cloaked because its a different ability. Stealth says it doesnt count as the nearest enemy if it has cover, cloakedsays the enemy cannot be targeted if having cover against nonadjacent enemies.. makes ur target not beinng able to be targeted period if covered & accurate only lets u target enemies even not if the nearest thats why it counters stealth. cloaked basically says you have to be adjacent or have a clear shot with nothing in the way to hit a cloaked piece

So you see, stealth just makes ur target not count as the nearest if in cover. & cloaked says nothing about ur target closest or not, it speficically says if has cover cannot being attacked by non adjacent enemies. this is covered in the Faq.

Also alot of cloaked pieces hide behind all the diplomat pieces, a good way to counter that is by using pieces with Sniper.. cuz u can target through enemies with that ability..
