Just a new list I built to have fun with nothing outrageous but I think it will be a lot of fun

Imperial Officer 50
Strict Orders,
Boba Fett 140
Duck and Cover, Hunter, Recon Intel,
Bossk 115
Duck and Cover, Hunter, Targeting Scopes,
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, FX-9 Medical Droid,
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper, FX-9 Medical Droid,
Stormtroopers 44
DLT-19 Stormtrooper,
Scout Troopers (Strike Team) 16
DLT-19x Sniper,

How much could you trim to get Veers in there? I think for 30pts more he is better than the Officer even if you don't use his command cards. I've had him shoot down vehicles and spare/wounded units just because of his double aim and Range 3 gun. His health and defense might be worth it as well. If not, I think you're set.

Looks like a pretty solid army except why take Covert Observation when you can take Bossks grenade card? i havent used it, but it looks extremely powerful

I'm not sure if I can find the points in the list without diluting its staying power or effectiveness so I'm going to leave it as is.

I'm not going to us it mostly because the Dioxis charges are super situational and require you to be in the right place at the right time. The Covert Observation card has 5 units I can activate if I have a vital target or need to do something specific so it add that little bit of tactical flexibility.

I played with Bossk 3 times now and let me tell you: His grenade is devastating!

I got to use it in all 3 matches and it was definitely worth it. It does way more dmg than Sabines grenades imo.

Here is a (sadly low quality) picture of my best use of them so far (ignore the car, we ran out of thematic obstacles in the store XD): Together with the poison I did 13 dmg from which only 4 were blocked.

9 wounds from one additional card effect is insane. And the worse result from that card that I had were 5 wounds. That is still more than enough (remember he can attack and throw). Honestly I think his 3 pip card is the worst of his command cards.

So the list ran really great, Boba Fett was a fire magnet had the entire Rebel army shooting at him for two turns until he died. Bossk hunted down and killed Chewbacca while the Storm Troopers and Death Troopers did the majority of the heavy lifting but it was the bounty victory token that won me the game. We played the new Downed AT-ST mission. Though I will be removing Duck and Cover from both Boba Fett and Bossk. Not sure what I'll add yet but I need some better bang for my buck as neither Bounty Hunter really needed it.
