A bit of respect for the Chihuahua, please. These dogs are _amazing_ at doing what they were bread for.

They're guard dogs. They were meant to walk around a villa at night- in a pack. When they saw an intruder (really: think Zorro here, as that's the right general time/place for the yappy doggies), they would start running and yapping, loudly. The yapping is impossible to ignore and wakes everyone in the area. _way_ more annoying than a car alarm.

Unlike a car alarm, though, a Chihuahua will chase down and hold onto an intruder. Not one Chihuahua, a pack of them. 4-5 of them. They chaese, they catch, they bite, they _don't let go_. A small dog may or may not break your skin, but they _will_ hobble you. And if a couple of them are on someone and not letting go, that person is not going to run away all that easily.

So, yes: annoying in a purse. But awesome as pack hunters. Totally appropriate name for a group of A-Wings.

If it's non-venomous and I can kill it efficiently with just the bottom of my foot it can only merit just so much respect and definitely not a namesake. Sorry. I am a dog person though.

Who's with me?

No support.

I'm... not sure I'm convinced. Why would you breed a small, yapping dog for guard duty when you could breed a large, barking dog that can also put up a fight if it needs to?

Why use dogs when you can go out find a pack of wolves kill the alpha and take the pack for your own?

Sure some neighbourhood kids may get eaten but your place is forever safe from thieves, that's a price I'm willing to pay.

I love A-Wings and I hate Chihuahuas, so even if it's not "abracadabra" the list definitely needs a new name.

But seriously, how cool would it be to have a pet dire wolf.

See my earlier post for a snazzy and easy to say option!

The Romans used to use Geese because they would make an awful racket which raised they alarm and couldn't be killed with poisoned meat like dogs.

Why are you naming this list after such a crappy 80s song?

Although they are two of my favorite Pokemon.

Phoenix Squadron's Revenge. Make it happen.

Ugh, say what you want about her policy, but why can't Hillary be as cool as Bill? Such a letdown.

He's the cool one. She's the nerd. Most of us are in relationships like that.

I don't get the development of this thread:

Abracadabra - Chihuahuas - Hillary Clinton??

I don't get the development of this thread:

Abracadabra - Chihuahuas - Hillary Clinton??

I'm confused too, maybe they are saying the clintons are like chihuahuas, they bite on political power and money and they don't let go, or make a lot of yapping annoying noises?

Could always just call it "About Bloody Time".

Cheers

Baaa

My new squad: 5x Gold Y-wing with Autoblaster

--> I will call it Ybrycydybry

Chihuahuas perfectly describes how annoying that list is to me.

I feel like Abracadabra gives too much respect.

But it'll reach out and grab ya.

I am the originator of the Chihuahua Storm. The name was a group effort by the group of players who first saw me run it at a Store Championship the weekend after Wave 8 hit in mid-March. People have free will and can technically point to a pair of socks and call them Oreo cookies, but that doesn't make the socks chocolatey wafers filled with delicious creamy white lard.

5x Green Squadron Pilot + Adaptability + Crack Shot + Autothrusters + Chardaan Refit + A-Wing Test Pilot = Chihuahua Storm (or, more briefly, Chihuahuas).

Thanks for inventing a super expensive list! I need to calculate it out sometime and see if it's less expensive than brobots or Pheaver's last worlds list.

its painful how many Rebel Aces, A wings, K-Fighters, and Mist hunters you need for this build....

How many?

Ok, something in my mind is telling me that PS4 is a key PS, but other than that, I'm having a hard time figuring out why the necessity of A-Wing Test Pilot/Adaptability is? Could the list be run without it, therefor cutting down on the cost of 1 Aces + 3 Mist Hunters essentially? Or am I right in roughly remembering something triggers at PS4?

EDIT: Just as a cost-saving gap for someone wanting to run the list while saving $80

Awesome if it's a white dire wolf, otherwise it'll just die.

the simple fact that at PS4 you can shoot before jumpmaster scouts at PS3 makes it worth it

Iain I'm going to play this at my next tournament. I saw a pic of 3 of your As blocked by a scout. I thought that, apart from making sure you point all your crackshots at the same target, you would not want to fly in strict formation with this list, also to avoid a block from large bases

I've tried to post this 3 times, but my phone ate it all 3 times.

Tl;Dr:

Chihuahuas are named after a Mexican State that is named after a desert. Big dogs don't do well in deserts.

Much like a pack of Chihuahuas!
