Re: [FT] MT missile control

G'day Laserlight,

We don't use fire and forget missiles under Derek's MT rules - otherwise
you'd have to wirte down their target as you fired them - instead we
treat
them similar to Semi-Active Radar Homing. Derek has played with the idea
of
having fire and forget missiles but hasn't put it to the group here yet,
but that would require each missile to be labeled and a target
designated
for it at the time of launching. Using them as per the 3rd para pg 3 of
MT
without a written record leaves fire and forget a bit open to abuse (at
least in Derek's opinion). Fire and forget missiles may well appear in
our
next campaign, which will feature a tech tree.

Cheers

Beth for Derek
