What would you take against this skirmish list?

By tocino, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I'm still new to the whole skrimish aspect of this game and only halfway through the core campaign. My buddy who has been playing longer has a record 14-0 against me, his brother, and a couple of his friends with this list:

Luke

Gideon

C-3PO

Biv

Reg Wookiees

Reg Wookiees

He tends to use his command cards as soon as he gets them. I don't remember all of his cc's but he does have :

Son of Skywalker

Element of Surprise

To the limit

Urgency

I currently blame my lack of experience as one of the major factors as why I am 0-3 against him (I've forgotten to use re-rolls a number of times) My last list was the following (my command cards were horrible)

Luke

Gideon w/diplomatic mission

C-3PO

Elite Sabs w/targeting computer

Elite Sabs w/targeting computer

Elite Echoes

Do you guys have any deployment or command card recommendations or tactics? He tends to freelance Luke a lot but tries to keep him close enough to get semi-regular buffs from Gideon

Imperial Troopers could do a lot of damage to this list from a long enough range to keep those Wooks from tearing into you

I was thinking of a reg RG, IO, IO, eSnow, and 2 eStormies OR replacing the 2 eStormies for 3 reg stormies

Hey tocino, I play the list you're playing at tournaments, I'm currently 7-1 over two events against some pretty decent players.

Check out my thread here: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/197831-competitive-rebels/for the command deck I use, as well as rundowns of how my matches went; it might give you some insight. Ask questions there if you need any more help or what-have-you.

Hey gunfighter! I actual read your post from before and really liked how your squad looked. When I tried your command cards it didn't seem to work from me. I found that explosive weaponry did no good for me because my opponent made sure to keep his guys spread out. I also want to try fitting in maximum firepower if I get the chance to do an uber-shot with a focused sab

You need stun. Take two groups of eSabs perhaps. Stun will shut down wookies and gimp Biv a bit.

Or you could try some sort of mercenary list using Punishing Strike to get stuns from Boba or Nexu or HKs, though that card is once per turn and doesn't have the same capabilities as two eSabs.

Yeah, I think ihave to be more patient and remember my rerolls because I wasn't getting too many stuns out from my sabs due to crappy dice rolls

targeting computers on saboteurs isn't a bad move.
