I have a question. I guess it would go under Squad Lists . . . Anyways. When is a good time to SLAM?

Depends on the list. If it's K-wing bombers, if slamming will put you in a better position to drop a bomb this round or next, slam.

General cases now:

If you think that you have a better chance to block if you slam, and you need that block, slam.

If you need to get out of dodge more than you need to shoot, slam.

If you need to get back into the fight, slam.

If you have a chance to gain a huge positioning advantage, slam.

Generally, if your new position is better than taking a shot, slam.

I've been running SLAM on Houndstooth, that's why I asked.

If that's the case then, depending on which kind of hounds tooth you are running, slam should be used if a ship gets behind you, to get the edge on them.
