No, the other way around: A gets a free shot at B. The side which does
*not* disengage gets a free shot at the side which does disengage.

Group B dogfights itself? <g> Should be "If Group A reenters..."

It's becoming hilariously obvious just how often I'm filtering out
typoes.
'I knew what they meant.'

Not that I don't depend on other folks to occasionally mind-read my
posts,
of course.

Here's an odd thing, though: If there's only *one* squadron per side in
the dogfight, they fire simultaneously according to FT2 p.17.

However, if at least one side has *more* than one squadron involved in
the same furball, the sides take turns firing one squadron at a time
and apply the damage immediately(...)

Funny, I thought it was on purpose. I know I've not been in many large
furballs, and assumed the far more common mano y mano, or squadron y
squadron, would be run faster/simpler. I don't have the book handy; how
is
order worked? Numerically superior shoots first? How about if dead even?

Course, at this point, I'm expecting to hear how everyone else ALWAYS
has
multi-squadron dogfights...

The Bugs didn't use SBMHAWKs in IDG.

Funny, if this were another list to which I subscribe, Legends of
Galactic
Heroes, we'd be hearing spoiler-warning calls. ;->= Course, as you know,
I
won't read IDG until it's finished, and none of us should be holding our
breaths. Last word from Baen on Sept 22? *sigh*
