Well my troopers are in decent shape ... sort of. I could make two squads out of what I have in the Empire. First Order is good to go. DS Scoundrels are OK. Nighsisters and Droids are shaky. Geonosians and Sith are basically junk.
BUT if you were a DS specialist, you could have 8 squads there to work with. That should be enough to run a TB table. On the LS table you only need 4 full squads to do all missions -- that's 20 characters. Add another 20 maximum for platoon donations and there you go, full capability for a DS TB. Plenty of heroes available.
But yeah I agree with you, six days of the same 4 battles vs Hoth squads is not exactly inspired design. The last wave of one mission in every territory could be some sort of mini-boss, where you need to dispatch the first five waves just to get to there, and then do as much damage as you can to try to take it down in collaboration with your guildmates. The mini-boss could even have phases like a mini-AAT raid, where the first ~5 players in must take down the boss' outer defenses, and then other players would have other tasks that must be completed before the boss could be defeated. Now that would be interesting.
