I’d second this point, would be really useful
I’ll post some up this weekend once I’ve dug them out!
Loving the show guys! Keep it up!
I had a great use of tactical crashing where my opponent put his Slave-1 on an asteroid so I moved one of my x-wing’s forward 4 so he couldn’t get off and it caused his Captain Jonas to crash into the back of the Slave-1.
With the use of another X-Wing I was able to stuff him on that asteroid for 4 rounds, and had range one shots on Captain Jonas who wasn’t able to fire any ordinance as he was in range 1 the whole time.
Nice flying! I love it when my opponent not only hits a rock, but hits it again when leaving it.
