🅕 Flight Actions — Engagement Actions
Attempt Air-to-Air Combat:
1) Select target: see 🅜 Target Selection Table.
2) Move as follows:
2a) Use Dash Throttle if needed to engage,
otherwise use Combat Throttle. Move to enter
US flight hex at same altitude and from rear
hemisphere, if able. Attempt engagement;
make a slash attack if allowed. Otherwise,
move as close as possible to target flight, at
same altitude, turning to keep it in forward arc.
2b) If engagement successful, resolve air-to-air
combat. Take all possible shots: Guns first,
then IRM if available.
2c) If engagement unsuccessful, use remaining MP
to dive to Deck [☾/⛅: Low] and move forward.
🅗 DRV General Flight Behavior
Generic flights use Combat Throttle 3 and Dash Throttle 4 at all altitudes.
Unless exiting, DRV flights always turn to avoid leaving the playing area.
DRV flights climb to avoid ridges if on the Deck.
DRV flights never voluntarily use their last unit of fuel.
DRV flights attempt to disengage if Disordered or Aborted.
DRV flights decline engagement as defender if allowed to choose.
Unless landing, DRV flights do not dive to Deck at Night or if there is a
dense cloud layer between Deck and Low [☾/⛅: Low].
🅖 Flight Actions — Non-Combat Actions
Roll 1d10 and move as follows:
≤4 Approach. 1) Combat Throttle. 2) Select target:
see 🅜 Target Selection Table. 3) Move to
match target altitude, if possible. 4) Move
towards target flight, but no closer than 5
hexes. Turn to get/keep it in forward arc.
5-8 Hold Station. 1) Combat Throttle. 2) Move to
Low. 3) Move forward for 1 MP. 4) Make 60-
degree turn to the left for 1 MP. Repeat 3) and
4) until all MP used.
≥ 9 Evade. 1) Combat Throttle. 2) Move away from
closest US flight, diving to Deck as free descent
[☾/⛅: Low].
Modifier:
– 2 DRV flight is undetected
🅙 AAA/Fire Can Action
Table
AAA fires on any US flight within
range at the earliest possible
time during movement phase.
A Fire Can fires at the earliest
possible time during the
Movement Phase.
Ignore DRV flights (deconfliction
[14.74] applies at all altitudes).
🅚 SAM Activation Table (inactive SAM Warn markers only)
Inactive SAMs use radar-off SAM Warn markers until activated. An inactive SAM checks for activation when:
• It is located by any means.
• During the SAM Acquisition Phase, it is within 12 hexes of a US flight.
• [OPTIONAL] During the Movement Phase: see 🅩 Lock-On After Launch Table.
SAM Activation Check (1d10): ≤ 4 Real SAM; 5-8 No Effect; ≥ 9 Dummy SAM
Results:
If Real SAM: Activate the SAM by flipping the SAM Warn marker to its Radar
On side. The SAM is now Active.
If No Effect: Leave inactive SAM Warn marker in place. Do not check for
activation again this turn.
If Dummy: Remove the SAM Warn marker.
🅛 SAM Actions Table (active SAM and SAM Warn markers only)
Movement Phase: Make a Fire check each time a detected US flight expends MPs within 8 hexes* of a SAM that
has acquired it. If multiple SAMs have acquired the US flight, check closest SAMs first (in ID-letter order if tied):
SAM Fire Check (1d10): > range to US flight Fire; ≤ range to US flight No Fire
Modifier: Results:
+2 SAM has Full Acquisition
If Fire: Make a SAM fire attack against the acquired US flight.
If the SAM Fire Check roll was even: fire a salvo if possible.
If odd: fire a single missile.
If No Fire: SAM does not fire. SAM may make another attempt if US
flight (even same flight) again expends MPs within 8 hexes.

ARM Launch: If detected US flight fires ARM, all SAMs attempt to keep their radar on.

🅘 AAA & Fire Can Activation Tables SAM Acquisition Phase: Check inactive SAMs within 12 hexes* of any US flight for activation: see 🅚 SAM
Activation Table. Then, all active SAMs attempt to acquire a US flight. SAMs that activated this turn may attempt
