 FIRING PROCEDURE MAXIMUM BURST
Attacker : Basic + luck + firers modifiers= no of d6 thrown. Needs 5’s or 6’s to hit Must be in same altitude band to fire
Defender: Own manoeuvrability + range + luck = no of d6 thrown. Needs 5’s or 6’s to
save Firing aspect Max burst
Head on 2
Forward Deflection 3
WOUNDED PILOTS AND BLACKOUT Rear Deflection 5
Wounded must test for blackout each turn in movement phase. D6 +/- luck. 1 or 2 =Blackout. This On the tail 8
increases to 3 at altitude 5 or 6. If blackout then roll 1D6. 1 = fly straight ahead at the current speed.
2 or 3 = dive to the left, 4 or 5 = dive to the right. 6 = dive straight ahead. 1 altitude band per turn.
Retest each turn in movement or named card. If he passes the test control is regained but pilot still
wounded. If fails, aircraft continues on the same course until it hits the ground or the pilot revives.
If they hit the ground (ie altitude =0) before coming to then the pilot is killed. -1 on Luck for all
wounds
