Having waited a bit for an intelligible answer...

Haven't played it either, but it seems to use jointed measuring sticks,
and rules for larger ships having delayed orders.

I have the basic set and a fair number of X-Wing, and only played twice.
Have, but not played, Armada. 

Actually, I'm looking forward to Halo Fleets, as I've heard very good
things compared TO Armada; yeah, I know, 'really? Spartan Games???'

Not having played it.... what kind of movement system does SW Armada
use?
