Machine Gun Anti-Aircraft Fire (Rules Update)

A rules update on Machine Gun Anti-Aircraft units to better model their battlefield role.

Anti-Aircraft units armed only with machine guns and vehicles armed with machine guns use opportunity fire against aircraft with an additional +1 TN.

Short Range: 4+ TN

Effective Range: 5+ TN

Long Range: 6+ TN

Measure the range from the firing unit to the aircraft’s target.

Anti-Aircraft units that are armed with other weapons (including a combination of flak and machine guns) fire with no additional TN penalty.

Sustained Fire Anti-Aircraft Weapons

Anti-Aircraft units armed with Sustained Fire weapons may use opportunity fire to target multiple aircraft in the same range band.

Each aircraft fired at reduces the FP by -1D. One roll is made and applied to all targets. Each aircraft hit makes its own Reaction Roll and applies any relevant results such as taking Disruption Points, being suppressed or Dispersed.
