Thats the way we play it.  Now a problem I have with the rules is 
that it seems (to me at least) to be unclear as to how many fighterd 
in a group may be fired on by pdaf and adaf.  Do they attack all the 
fighters in a group or just one per defense system?  The way I 
usually play it is that each defenses system attacks one fighter, not 
the entire group but some other players seem to view it differently.

Has anyone else had this problem of interpretation?
