On a modern battlefield A/C flying in the equvilent of high mode is the
target
of other aircraft or heavy AAM that cover the battle area from the rear
area
(such as HAWK or Patriot).

Prehaps a off the board AAM capability is in order. Treat them as GMSs
that
may strike at anything in high mode on the table top.

Alternatively a new weapon system might be needed. AAMs may attack A/C
in high
mode. Agaist A/C red, yellow and green chits count. If used agaist
ground
targets only green count. AAM/L is size 1, has a range of 48" and pulls
2
chits. AAM/H is size 2 has a range of 72" and pulls 3 chits.
