In a tribute to the ancient articles written by shinja himself, I have come up with a challenge for the community; design a squad based upon certain restrictions for a faction.

-Jediless (200 Point Old Republic without Jedi (Melee Force Users))
-To Affinity and Beyond (Design a squad that uses three different characters from another faction (excluding Fringe)
-Master and Apprentice (Design a squad that uses two Unique Force Users (and no other Force Users), these two do not have to be from the same faction, but must have been Master and Apprentice at some point in their career)
-In the Beginning: Design a 100 point squad that uses pieces from only the first three sets (Rebel Storm, Clone Strike, and Revenge of the Sith)
-Scum & Villainy: Design a squad with at least three (may be duplicates) new characters from Scum & Villainy.
-The Fighting Fringe: Design a squad that uses only Fringe characters.
-Pyromania: Design a squad with at least three characters with the Flamethrower Special Ability.

Others:
-DieAndBeMetal:
--Rule of Two (Using Sith, make a squad with only 2 Force users)
--Where's Thrawn? (Make an Imperial squad without using a version of Thrawn)
--Super Swarm! (Make a squad using at least 10 of the same non-Unique piece)
-MaliciousCrumb:
--No Grievous (Make a Separatist squad without using a version of Grievous)
*NO SPOILERS [DO NOT USE REVEALED CHARACTERS FROM FUTURE SETS]*
P.S. Please let me know if this is a stupid idea.
~Thanks~

With Saul and the other pieces for tempo control the chis can pull off shots for 40 dmg on activated enemys with +11, then saul is a great assistance and in case of a crit they do even more damage with the chagrian. Then evazan keeps people alive and the senators let even more shots be pulled off.
--OR nonsence--

So many Ce's to give shots to atton and carth. Plus, Evazan and Ponda can help the survivability. And, i have tact +4 and all of the OR guys have it's a trap and recon.

Here's a few challenge ideas.
Rule of 2 challenge (Using Sith, make a squad around using only 2 force users)
Where's Thrawn? (Make an Imperial squad without using Thrawn)
Super Swarm! (Make a squad using at least 10 of the same non-unique piece) And please don't do Naboos lol.

Rule of Two- 200 pts.
Darth Revan, SL 62
Darth Maul, SI 57
Cad Bane 54
Twilek BG 10
R7 Astromech 8
Uggie 3
MouserX2 6

2 great swap options. Got the melee and the ranged covered well, and a BG to help someone in danger.

30 Kal Skirata x1
34 Null ARC Trooper Captain Ordo x1
60 ARC Trooper Sniper x4
12 Ugnaught Demolitionist x4
8 R7 Astromech x1

Wookiees have always been one of my favorite squads, and usually my squads are Mermeru, 3 Elite Wookiee Warriors, and Chewie plus other stuff. I like this version


(Rep) Merumeru
(Rep) Commander Ahsoka
(Rebel) Chewie, Fearless Scout
(OR) 3 Elite Wookiee Warriors
(Fringe) Wookiee Thug
(Rep) Mas Ameda
(Fringe) 2 R7s
(Rep) Spaartis
(Fringe) 2 Ugnaughts

Where's Thrawn?

53 Darth Vader, Imperial Commander
14 Imperial Officer
14 Snowtrooper Commander
14 Stormtrooper Officer
12 Heavy Stormtrooper
9 Imperial Engineer
28 Snowtrooper x4
6 Mouse Droid x2

(150pts. 12 activations)

I made a version of this a long time ago before I had Thrawn. It works well enough against any squads with low attack ratings or melee, but has trouble dealing enough damage against high hp targets.

I'll take that challenge!
