Star Wars Armada can be condensed to the amazing abbreviation SWARM instead of the clunky "SW:A". Why is this not a thing? It's one extra keystroke (assuming you're using the colon in the other abbreviation) and looks way cooler

I propose that we start the movement here, Dakka. Star Wars Armada = SWARM

I agree. Especially since if you play Star Wars Armada with two fleets, it could accidentally become SWAs, and nobody wants that.

Well, swarm is used as a fairly well defined term for a style of lists in X-Wing, by the same company and often the same groups of players.

You'd have the same problem if the game title could be rendered as say BROBOTS or FATHAN.

Big Pew vs. Little Pew

Now try playing with a list consisting entirely of either CR-90s or Raiders. For a SWARM swarm.
