Gar Saxon: HOW and WHERE?

I really want to play with Gar Saxon and the Supercommander. They're just FUN. But I don't know how to fill a team for him, considering:

a) I'm also working on Troopers, which uses up all the, you know, troopers.
b) I've already got a solid Empire team, which uses up basically everyone else.

Right now, I've got him and Supercommando paired with Royal Guard and it's a fine start... but I need two more guys that I'm not already using for something else.

Unless... could I just replace Storm and Magmatrooper with Gar Saxon and Supercommando on my Veers team? I could go Saxon lead, as long as I don't zeta Veers.

What's my strategy here, d'y'think?

EDIT FOR CLARITY: this is for TW/TB, not arena. And I guess for Raids, if I can get this team strong enough to be worth it?

    Where do you want to run them? Is this for arena, raid, or territory battle/war?

    At a basic level, I'd add snow trooper and death trooper to that mix. You need offense and Gar's leadership will help Snow and DT hit like a hammer and often. You'll need them to be very fast because they won't get the TM gain from Veers being the lineup.

    Gar (L)
    Imp. Super
    RG
    Snow
    DT

    I'm guessing you don't have Shoretrooper, but once you do, replace RG with him.

    1) thanks for the clarifying question, I added it to my original post! ...This is for everything but Arena.

    2) If I take Snow/Deathtrooper away from my Veers team, who will I replace them with on the Imperial Troopers team? Or are we saying that a fully starred/geared/modded Gar Saxon is as good as/better than a fully starred/geared/modded Veers? If not, I want to leave my Veers team intact? I guess?

    3) Correct: no Shoretrooper right now. I know he's a better tank in general than RG, but RG has stun on his basic and under Gar Saxon's lead, would counter (theoretically stunning frequently). Worth it? Or still no?

    THANK YOU!

    I think Gar is a blast to play too. I think Saxon is better lead against fights where there are not a lot of trash mobs to die. Veers lead requires deaths to pump the troopers up. Gar does not.

    And my fun team is CLS Gar Chirrut Baze Leia or R Han or Pao. The counters really get Gar Going. He will attack 3 times for each Leia Triple tap. Will always have offense up from Pao and Gars AOE cooldown is 1 or 2 turns. Fun.

    For Gar lead RG or Sith trooper EP Thrawn And Supercommando or maybe Snow. I dont have supercommando yet.

    Also google "Saxonator" team for p2 of Sith Raid.
