Well im sick of push squads so here is my answer to them, and well not the best one i think it would still be really fun to play and really annoying for the other person.

Clone Commander Bacara 23
Aerial Clone Trooper Captain 23 (Or Replace with mon Mothma for death shot but i really wanted to use him)
Captain Antilles 20 (great way to deal with fett and helps a bit vs kota)
R2-D2 Astromech (all hail doombot)
Mas Amedda 8 (the bouncer with a stick that every republic squad needs!)
Elite Clone Trooper x6 66 (base me i dare you)

Well thats more or less the squad, well not super competitive it would really tick off someone using pure force attacks (well except vader unleashed), Plus for the record the whole idea of the Aerial over mon Mothma is to allow that extra shot which could be very helpful depending on where your ect's are placed. But if you dont like him put mon in for some good old death shot action.

while the odds are slimmer
what If I play a Emp Palpy SL with a bunch of Imperials

no fring shooting bonus and your clones can't target my main guy...
he walks right up the Bacara, and poof
where is your squad now?

getting bbqed back to the stone age, and no one plays palpy sith lord due to the fact almost no one around here has him.

But i could afford to fit a jedi in i spose.

the other situation I thought sombody would have told you about...
Depa Biliba
Leia of cloud city
Vader-( I forget which one)

all have force sense-
whoops
no more stealth!

lastly not as big a deal as force sense but lest we forget Disruptive

I don't wnat to keep poo-pooing on your squad
but
these are things you don't seem to have a solution for-
as you stated, not many people have or use the Palpitine
but sombody is gonna figure on using Depa or the Vader at least
and SOMBODY is going to have one of the many disruptive pieces and nerf the ECT's

YOU could stand to use a few more Sev's over the ECT's
the Accurate shot/Deadeye is way better than sitting and waiting for the not to often adjacent +10

the ACTC is just too weak; take it out.
it's cool looking but it's not gonna be helpful when your squad is all stealthed but him

Keep at it

How is this great versus Force Users?

Thrawn or Vong are great against Force users, this, not so much.

i ment push squads. They are easy enough to shoot down due to there low hit points, and well yes vader\depa\so on would a problem playing a hate squad against ME only is rather pointless. (plus im the only one that likes to play vader unleashed)

the problem i see is actuly hurting say Vader's app. 22 def and a good chunk of hp. juno r2po and such still own you fairly good as well.
