Do you ever just wonder if all this ID discussion and vitriol is just a distraction so no one will talk about 5 A-wings winning a tournament?

Chihuahua Storm

What was the build? It had to be flown beautifully!

No. They're just trying to give people something to do until the Wave 9 preview is ready.

Iain Hamp has been flying it locally for a while. He won at least one local tournament with it. I know a few players nationally have started using it as well as some other locals. Julian won with the list Saturday. It is a really fun list to fly and fairly daunting to fly against.

5 x Green Squads with Crakshot, Adaptability, and Autothrusters is what I had heard it was. That could be totally wrong though.

Similar to a TIE crackshot swarm. To break it down:

Cons:

One less ship, so less firepower and one less crackshot

Loses the barrel roll action

No Howlrunner, so attack dice are less efficient

Pros:

More overall health, and half of those are shields.

Better dial

Gains the boost action

Gains the target lock action

Better PS manipulation

The biggest plus is missing. Autothrusters.
