Well, the idea was to simplify the fighter rules to allow for easy use
of
large numbers of fighters, so, hopefully, the reduction in capability
would be off-set by using more fighters (as, at least according to
this list, fighter capability scales non-linearly with numbers). :-)
Which is why only one attack - easier to keep track of.
For re-arming, use the re-arming rules in FB2, p4.
