I can't really help here

Just pointed out that a X-wing post is getting me even more excited for Armada

this is not good for my health

Tycho Celchu pushed back again. "You're too close!"

"Am I, pilot?" said Arvel Crynyd. "I thought you enjoyed stressful situations."

"I, uh," Tycho blushed...

er, maybe that's the wrong kind of A-Wing slash... :/

bring that to a tournie and it's instant victory

the opponent will concede either out of sheer discomfort or because of a sudden need to find some privacy

or both

My Escalation list is built around the A-wing slash. I use B-wings instead of X-wings, but the theme is the same. I run 2 tricked out Greens behind 2 Gunner/fcs Blues and when its go time the blues Barrel roll out to the sides and the Greens scream forward, Prockets ready to bring the pain.

A-Wing Slash:

The TIE Interceptor jinked sensuously as it raced through the blackness of space, the A-Wing tight on its tail. As the solar panels of the Interceptor reflected the harsh light of the local star, the A-Wing ran its sensors over the surface, taking in every curve and angle as it acquired a target lock, the TIE fixed firmly in its computer. As the red beams of the A-Wing's lasers flew past the Interceptor, the TIE spun through the black with the grace of a ballerina, corkscrewing wildly as it evaded them.

I'll be in my bunk...

I actually ran a google image search after the first couple posts hoping for something to contribute, but came up short.
