First, sorry for posting about Armada here. I'm aware it has its own forum but, since this is the dogfighting game forum, I thought it wold be interesting to hear your thoughts.
The Rebels frequently relied on their hyperdrives and had fewer capital ships. While capital v. capital battles will be the norm, what about fielding a bunch of Rebel fighter squadrons vs. Imperial capital ships (with their fighters)? Now that we know the core set comes with X-wings and Y-wings (as well as the various Imperial TIEs) and the 'escort' ability features prominently on Rebel ships*, this sounds awesome. *Escort says that fighters within range 1 of bombers must be engaged before the bombers can be. Sick. Anyway, if hyperdrive rules are also there, Rebel ships can be popping in on different turns. (Eventual) A-wings can hit Interceptors while X-wings escort Y-wings and B-wings. I think that would make for an awesome game scenario and really bring home the desperation of Rebel fighters trying to stop the might of the Empire.
