I play the tabletop game X-Wing with my friends and it is a lot of fun. My Y-Wing did a lot of loving work last night. Dropped a couple of proton bombs right up the rear end of my opponent's Upsilon-class shuttle, and then the ion turret it was packing also sent him into fits. He wound up winning because his bullshit shuttle pulled a bullshit manuever and used his bullshit little tractor bullshit to bullshit my poor A-Wing off the table. (But seriously it was a great game.)

Also in Armada my buddy Dutch Vander brings the heat, if he lands a hit on an enemy squadron it's shut down for the whole round. Counts as already activated. Then Wedge - you all know Wedge, right, ace pilot, all-around Rebellion hero - he gets a big bump whenever he shoots at squadrons that are already activated. Great tag team.

Sage Grimm posted:Speedwise, A-wings were the fastest, beating out all common starfighters (before the First Order weenies decided to make their TIE-fighters the fastest to win at fascist space-dick waving contests), followed by X-Wings (matching old-school TIE-fighters), then B-wings and finally Y-wings that fall behind even a worn-out Corellian freighter. interestingly this isn't what ILM had in mind when they were working on Return of the Jedi:
