Im new at the xwing miniature game but not at tabletop gaming and I'm still reading a lot and my problem is that I can't find a table or footnotes where all the nomenclatures are listed
I can only understand HLC as heavy laser canon and XXBB as a squad with 2 xwings and 2 bwing. Most of the time I'm lost in translations.
Is there an ipad app or an android app where I can download and understand all these?
Thanks in advance.
It only gets confusing when people start throwing out complicated names for squads, like Biggs walks the dogs. I've been playing for months and haven't figured that one out.
Most everything else is just dropping a long name to the letter that start the name.
PTL, push the limit
ACD, advanced cloaking device
VI, veteran instincts
And so on.
Biggs walks the dogs
Biggs 25
Dagger, advanced sensors x2
Rookie pilot
Even tho i agree with sometimes it can be confussing for newcomers, eventually you will pick them up quite easilly. If not, google "xwing PtL" or any abreviation, and it should work well.
My google-fu is weak. Couldn't find a comprehensive thread in this forum for the jargon, but did find a helpful guide off this forum.

Hope that is of some use.

For upgrades it's just usually the first letters of each word. SOT is Stay on Target, EU is Engine Upgrade, etc.
And then there's the squad names of which only a few are really well known, though the details may vary, from time to time. I wouldn't really bother diving too deep into them, you'll pick it up as you go along.
