Re: [GZG] Fighter rules Questions...

[Doug Evans <devans@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I thought Chris's last followup, intentionally or not, supported the
idea, as the last few SM's in most FB-design magazines(my beloved Gorshkov
is the only SMR I can find) are probably toast. Remember, he was being
generous when he said "ship gets destroyed" as a threshold hit is almost as
bad. As bad, if you roll damage control like I do.

However, I was thinking more of using the AF SM as an extra PDS, shooting
as the fighter attacks. Haven't thought about something like you've got
there. I'm scared of over-complication, but I'll give a think-through. ;->=
