[FT] Yet another question about fighters...

Jon, just in case you're not following the Yahoo group discussion, I'm
the Doug.

Yahoo 'Full Thrust' Group
Re: Fighter vs Fighter

I would say that is one 'free round' not a free round per disengaging
group.
Does that mean you can shoot regularly in dogfight AND at disengaging
groups?

Actually, I'd say no. In every discussion I've seen that included Jon, I
got the
impression it was 'free round' just because you got to shoot, but not
fear a
response shot.

Until Jon sez different, I suppose you'll play as you read it, and I as
I've
understood it.

Doug

the dice

possible
between the relevant groups.

should be
able to split their kills between the two groups disengaging, again by
rolling
their attack dice once and distribute the kills achieved as even as
possible
between the two disengaging groups...just my thought.
