I did enjoy this. Interesting perspective on how "big" the new pass token mechanic can be for first-last. You can use each token only once, but the first-last opportunity doesn't really present itself that often either, I guess? The illustration (Vassal screenshots?) were definitely useful in explaining how the arcs and movement can work out. Maneuvering well is a big deal in Star Wars Armada, and getting a feel for the maneuver tool and distances is pretty important and requires some experience. And yep, I've definitely been there, two ships standing front-to-front and duking it out. And I've also been there, flying into my opponent's double arc and realizing that getting shot twice by a Star Hawk really sucks. Even with bad dice luck on the opposing side.
Lol, best line, when 2 ships are nose to nose, "This is not Armada, this is a yahtzee game"

Simply Inspirational.
