OK folks, time to unify the nomenclature. Now that we can have units of ships, you want to sound slick calling them by the right appellation.

2 Ships = an Element.

3 Ships = Technically a flight, but see below. I'd prefer to call it an Escort.

4 Ships = a Flight

5 Ships = Also technically a flight, but maybe a Unit or Group??

6 Ships = a half-squadron. If you prefer, it's a demi-squadron, but then you have to move them with your pinkie up.

It will always be "a murder of TIEs"

Wing rules allow for up to 6 ships. That should be a full squadron for all purpose.

And I proposed before that 4 strong wings are to be called a Squ4d

Imho, element sounds horrible...

2 = wing

3 = escort

4 = squ4d

5 = group

6 = squadron or unit

Under your nomenclature, when one ship of a two ship grouping get shot, it's a. . .

Wing Ding.

2 Pack (Rotte)

3 Chain

If you want to go with other country's and historical destinations.

That is acceptable, as well.

An 'incoming' of TIE fighters?
