You're choosing up to two ships that each have the defender inside their firing arc at range 1-3 of themselves. So if you have an A-Wing at range 4 of your target, it won't do. Another A-Wing at range 1 of the target that doesn't have the target in arc also won't do.

You're basically teaming up on the target, focus-firing it in a single massive blast by using the allies' excellent evasion skill to position themselves for a surprise attack instead of defense. So you and a couple of buddies who can shoot the target (without relying on turrets) all focus on blowing it away: in practice each ally gives you another die to your attack.

Making sure you have your leader and two buddies keep the target in arc can be difficult at times, but man is it powerful.
