General Weiss? Ever worth it?

By Rogue Dakotan, in Imperial Assault Skirmish

I just did a bunch of games with a force user list that I really like so it's time to give the rebels a rest.

I've been trying to cook up some off the wall imperial or mercenary lists. Here's what I've come up with so far:

16▪ General Weiss
1▪ Zillo Technique
1▪ Rule by Fear
9Elite Stormtrooper
9Elite Stormtrooper
2Imperial Officer
2Imperial Officer

3Grenadier
2Endless Reserves
2Reinforcements
2Reinforcements
1Marksman
1Provoke
1Rank and File
1Negation
1Field Tactician
1Fuel Upgrade
0Stall for Time
0Of No Importance
0Take Initiative
0Recovery
0Planning

Do you have a specific strategy? analysis?

We've tried the list a couple of times, there's a game on the channel here:

For us the list performed great on some missions (description game and constant motion being great options) and poor on others if the opponent can just ignore Weiss.

Give it a go though and let us know how it goes

There was some discussion of Weiss's viability in the point adjustment thread. I think he could make a fun list that'll be durable and be fun, but you'll be hampered in for some objectives.

If you don't mind sharing, what was your force user list? I haven't been satisfied with my lists so far.

I might give this weiss list a shot and see how I like it.

My force user list is

Luke

Leia

Obi-Wan

Davith

Gideon

R2

3PO

Channel the Force

Heroic Effort

I have my command deck saved somewhere but it had lots of force user cards. I omitted Obi-Wans card and R2'see card.

Do you want competitive lists or off-the-wall or both? I've got 60+ lists saved in my phone app squad builder. I prefer to create thematic lists and in my mind less effective lists for starter games, however, I have found some of them to be suprisingly good depending on the map/scenario and matchup. I rarely play the tournament maps, thanks to Ibsh, I randomly play maps from all the expansions.
