If you have a choice in which piece to kill (ie. if there are 2 Stormtroopers) kill the one that hasnt gone yet
Wow, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned. Definitely one of the top 3 rules on my list.

friendly  to one of the best topics on these boards, and a must read for new players

Because it eliminates one more activation and a potential threat if you kill the unactivated one.
The one that has gone isn't going to hurt you right now, so worry about killing at some point in the future.

Well it does imply that both enemies are equal threats. Obviously, if facing some sort of swapping/transfer essence army, you still might want to attack the character that has just moved into some advantageous position.

Always be aware of how many fps your opponent has on Unleashed figures. The easiest counter to all the big force powers is knowing when and where your opponent will want to use them.
If facing force push 4, pop an ugnaught out in front of your big figure when your opponent reaches 3fps. Facing Force Repulse 5? Locate Kota (or others) and count out where Kota can move to the round before he could pull off his big hit. If you can minimize the dmg to a few figures, or to fodder, you are that much ahead of the game.

To add to that, try to take advantage of when your opponent is out of Force Points.
If Kota is on the Troop Cart and he just used all his FPs on Force Repulse 5, then that's a good time to take out the Cart because he can't reroll his save. Also, Luke and Yoda and Shaak Ti, Jedi Master are pretty vulnerable if you ever manage to catch them without FPs for Deflecting/Blocking/Riposting.
