Maybe they meant to select Crack Shot?

Viper rolls can be funky.

Some of my 2.0 list names:

Focus Factory (Garven, Biggs, Blount, PerCop Esege)

All the Arcs (2 Gold Squadron Ys, 2 Warden Ks, and upgrades for attacks all over the place)

Carpet Bombing (Tragedy Simulator Deathrain, Traj Sim Redline, Vizier)

Enforcers of Lothal (2x Delta, Grand Inquisitor)

Its cheap and lets me be greedy with those banked barrel rolls.

My first hyperspace was at 1.0 and I played Chewbacca, Lowhhrick and a generic Auzituck, all painted on brown. The list was named MMMRRRRWAAARGHRRGHHHH!! Not the top of the innovation, but the organizer laughed.

I made this joke in another thread, but my clever title would involve a squad of 3 Lambda shuttles named “NERRRRRRDS!” or something derivative of the Tri-lambs in Revenge of the Nerds. It’s sister squad would be “Omega-Mu” or “Space Pigs”, I guess

Hera + Lando (I’ve gone through several variations—not sure which upgrades combos I like best), I’ve always called “Idiot’s Array” after the Rebels episode with Lando.

Chewicide Squad was 1e Resistance Chewie + Z95s.

2e is Chewie+Pods/RZ2s

Wild Space Furball was my Wild Space Fringer + Auzies list with Chewbacca Crew on the YT.

_______

Magic Carpet Ride was 1e Quad Auzitucks.

Magic Carpet Ride is a favorite of mine as well.

I know everyone has heard of it but I always chuckle when I hear "Fat Han".

There was a list of 3 K-Wings called "Galaxy Note 7" (which were Samsung exploding phones that were recalled a few years back). This was a reference to how much ordnance the K-Wings carried. I always thought this was a clever and funny squad name.

I refer to Post-nerf rebel beef as rebel tofu.

I call Big deal finn and fenn Rau infinncible

That reminds me, I had a sort of proto-Dengaroo right after the Jumpmaster release in 1.0 before Dengaroo was a thing (exploiting infinite stress with Attanni Mindlink).

I called it " This is me, not caring about stress tokens ". It made the TO laugh, but I might've caught more opponents unaware with the combo if I hadn't given away the trick in the title...

I have a Vulture list (6 Separatist Drones) carrying Cluster Missiles and Grievous with Probe Droids, TA-175 & Title that I like to call Cluster F*d. I try to keep salty language to a minimum in real life, but I felt this name suited the list.

Sounds about right.

I've flown a similar Emon build many times - could never think of an interesting name for it (2 Firesprays, Emon and Krassis).

On an semi-related topic, I feel like I should make a Quadjumper list that fully kits out Unkar Plutt with an insane amount of points so I can call it "I Like Big Plutts..."

To me, this rivals choke and cloak (RIP).

For me, they're references to Dinner Squadron , from the X-Wing books (specifically Wraith Squadron if I remember correctly).

"TIE Salad" is a squad with one each of four different TIE models (I think it was Vermeil (Reaper), Gideon (/ln), Countdown (Striker), and something in the Advanced x1). Salad just refers to different things being mixed in together.

"Leia's Beef Historians" - I don't know this specific version, but "Rebel Beef" in general refers to squads with a lot of hull/shields total, i.e. they're beefy.

Nothing catches aces off guard like a large base 3 slooping and dropping a rigged cargo chute on them.

Back when Wedge + Braylen + Cassian + thing was..a thing I take credit for "Beef Wedgington".

When we started to changing that to Wedge + Luke + Braylen + Jake I moved it Rebel Gristle.

Technically Kylo + Tavson + SKB is Bunn^3. But I prefer "Two angry bricks and a win condition".

I could be wrong here, but another reason for the term "Salad" is that 1) there's less health, or "beef" on these lists, so it's lighter fare, and 2) there's often a lot of leafy Green dice being tossed around.

Not really original, but I am debating about calling my Anakin/Obi-Wan pair either Jedi Scum or Jedi pudu.
