My friend and I both have a pretty good IA collection. Between the two of us we own all the expansions, and duplicates of Core, Hoth, and Jabba's Realm, and maybe 60% of the ally/ villain packs. We would like to set up a 4 player skirmish with our friends who don't own any IA stuff. I am looking for suggestions to make 4 lists that would be evenly matched against each other, and also would feel thematically right. Can anyone help us out? I don't have enough skirmish experience to whip up these lists myself...whatever I come up with will be out of balance, I am sure of that.

which ally packs (more or less) and do you need command cards? which 4 player are you doing as well? Jabba is probably more fun than the Hoth one just do to having a bit more room to play.

Ally packs:

Han Solo
Chewbacca
Rebel Troopers
IG-88
2X R2-D2/ C-3P0
Kayn Somos
Boba Fett
Leia Organa
Echo Base Trooper
Dengar
Lando Calrissian
Bossk
Ob-Wan Kenobi
Alliance Ranger
Captain Terro
2X Jabba the Hutt
Ahsoka Tano
2X Emperor Palpatine

Yes, I would need advice on command cards as well. Sounds like we will start with the Jabba map, and if that's successful try out the Hoth map.

Hoth is fun, don't get me wrong, but you can literally shoot people in their deployment zone and vice versa turn 1 if you set up wrong.

This may not be balanced, but there's cetainly theme and focus on different mechanics and abilities in each team. I don't have command cards, but what about

JEDI: Jedi Luke, Ahsoka, Obi-wan, Diala, Davith, Rebel High Command, Heroic Effort

HEROES: Chewbacca (WA), Han (RS), Leia, Lando, R2, 3p0, Heroic Effort

REBEL SPECIAL FORCED: Ko-Tun Feralo, Drokkatta, Hera, Chopper, Gideon, E Alliance Rangers, Combat Suit, On A Diplomatic Mission

BOUNTY HUNTERS: Boba Fett, IG-88 (FOTK), Bossk, Dengar

BEASTS: Rancor, Bantha, E Wampa, E Nexu, R Nexu, Beast Tamer, Feeding Frenzy, Last Resort

JABBA's REALM: Jabba, E Gamorean, R Trandoshan, E Weequay, Indentured Jester

SITH: Vader (DBH), Palpatine, Grand Inquisitor, Maul, Temporary Alliance, Zillo Technique, Rule By Fear

STORMTROOPERS: E Stormtrooper, E Jet Trooper, R Snowtrooper, R E-web Engineer, R Heavy Stormtrooper, R Riot Trooper

GENERAL'S FORCES: General Sorin, Agent Blaise, BT-1, E Sentry Droid, R Jet Trooper x2, Advanced Comm Systems, Cross-Training

Just remember to ban R2-D2's command card if you play the Hoth map. It's broken as was first discovered by @ThatJakeGuy.

I didn't discover it, I just raised enough of a stink to get it banned
