I am using new VaS beta rules. Gimme a sec, I’ll find the stats.

Also, some scenery – an IJN DD and some IJN planes engaging the enemy near Wake

I love Warlord ships, but I really do not like the planes – especially the Zeroes have this weird selector of role in their base that rubs against the base itself and chips away the paint and I hate it as a concept.

So I printed planes on sheet styrene, cut them out,…[Read more]

Rules are clear that dogfights are immune to AA, that bombers attack when activated during the gunnery phase, and that dogfights happen at the end of said gunnery phase. There are no stated limits to being able to defend yourself if you have already attacked as a bomber.

So, in order:

Yeah, that makes sense – especially the point about the range bands of AA probably meant to be used vs surface smallcraft. So, the range of AA (in its AA role) is the weapon’s extreme range – and in the case of DP weapons half the weapon’s extreme range for anti-surface use…

Yep, yep, falling into place. Cheers!
