Absoutely, because Fire Support is not a CE, therefore it is not subject to stacking rules.

SA's are still subject to the stacking rule. You can use both of those abilities because they're two differentely named abilities.

This is not entirely true. The instance of things being 'named' abilities is like one character that grants 'Cunning Attack' to other followers, and another character that grants 'Careful Shot' to followers. THOSE are both named abilities that are being GRANTED to the follower. In the case of the Battle Droid Officer, he is not granting a named ability to anyone else. He is simply granting a +4 Attack bonus. Sure, it's a 'named' ability on the BDO's card, but it is different from granting a 'named' ability to another character. If the BDO's Fire Control was a CE instead of an SA, then it would NOT stack with Greivous' bonus, because then they'd both be straight up +4 bonuses.

The simple rule is that bonuses granted from special abilities stack, whereas bonuses granted from CEs do not stack, unless they are specific 'named' abilities. However, at this time, I don't think there are any cases where multiple SAs grant bonuses, so there aren't any stacking issues there anyways.

Learned something new then. I'd always seen it as a simple named abilities stack, straight bonuses take the highest instance, but that it was for any bonus, not just from CE's. Probably because like you said there aren't any SA stacking issues yet so its never come up in a game.

We should only have to wait a few more sets with all the disruptive out there :|

I love putting BGD and Grievous together; one of the best pairs put together by Rob from the early sets.

I never got to pair them up. BDO plus thre ROTS Destroyer Droids was one of my first squads, but by time I had Grievous I was too deep into the Republic.
