Re: [DS] Air Superiority Rules

Of course there is always my set of simple rules on my site.

the

> Enhanced Maneuverability     +200 points     (Aerospace only)
> Superior Maneuverability     +400 points     (Aerospace only)

activate

>To determine if an interception has occurred an opposed die roll is
made.
