Oh my god this book has so many action scenes.

 I think I've written before about the circular flow chart of Battletech, Star Wars, X-Wing, and Michael Stackpole.

One of the points of contention in the original Battletech books (I haven't read any of the newer ones) is how action light they are. For the "core" books that actually advance the storyline, you tend to get 1 or 2 big (stand up 'mech fight) and maybe 3 or 4 (bar fight, near assassination, etc.) scenes in a book. There are individual books or sub series that go heavier, but that's the broad trend. The short scenes are often only a couple pages, and even the long ones rarely run into the double digits (and that's often with other stuff breaking them up). I mathed it out back in high school and they often come in at 15% or so of the whole book (30-40 pages in a 350ish page mass market.) Even after accounting for front and back matter, getting up to 30% would qualify as an action heavy book. Instead, as the Amazon reviews liked to complain about at the time, "Oh my god, they spend a whole chapter drinking tea/walking in the garden/explaining poetry!" (You can, in fact, often go multiple chapters without anyone getting shot or whatever.)

And, honestly, I think they struck a pretty good balance. Action scenes are page/word sucks, and it's hard to actually get plot movement on them. You can do better on character work, if you're careful. That's not to say that I didn't enjoy they occasional shoot-fest Solaris gladiator book, but the intrigue, drama, etc. is where the work gets done.

Let's do the rundown for Rogue Squadron. Action heavy chapters in bold. No (or very little) chapters in italics. Mixed in underline.

Ch 1: Definitely not the Kobayashi Maru.
Ch 2: One scene character from OT is now important.
Ch 3: ANTAGONISTS!
Ch 4: Everyone is horny.
Ch 5: I have no clever summary.
Ch 6: Backstory
Ch 7: Wedge gets to fly.
Ch 8: Fake trench run.
Ch 9: Debrief
Ch 10: More antagonizing
Ch 11: Establishing the story arc for the next 3 books.
Ch 12: Michael Stackpole loves not jumping to conclusions. At least not the wrong ones.
Ch 13: Firing blind
Ch 14: Scrounge
Ch 15: ANTAGONISTY debriefing
Ch 16: At this point they get more excessive.
Ch 17: Aaron Allston is better at writing these scenes.
Ch 18: Ground combat
Ch 19: People die
Ch 20: Still dead
Ch 21: At this point, they start to blur together.
Ch 22: More antagonisty watching stuff
Ch 23: Everyone is still horny.
Ch 24: If they know that we know that they know
Ch 25: Also excessive, the number of scenes of the Empire talking about the same thing from their pov.
Ch 26: ACTION!
Ch 27: Not an action scene, but planning one. 
Ch 28: It's a suicide volunteer mission!
Ch 29: And we're volunteering
Ch 30: I didn't reread this one yet, so it's kinda skimmy from here.
Ch 31: More horny?
Ch 32: Horny drama?
Ch 33: Oh no, bad stuff.
Ch 34: Action!
Ch 35: Loor dump
Ch 36: Pew pew
Ch 37: Pew pew deux
Ch 38: Left Behind
Ch 39: Pew pew pew
Ch 40: Fake out
Epilog: Log?

That puts us at 11 out of 41 (counting the epilogue). I will also note the action chapters seem to run a bit longer from my quick check.

I feel like they get less actiony from here, but we'll see.
