Kickstarter Dropfleet Commander

[scoundrel13]

So I finally have a rulebook (yay). After reading through I think I've spotted a couple of rules that a few of us have been doing wrong. First millitary ground sectors are not limited to 6' range, its also a bit confusing if they can shoot into atmosphere due to the wording of escape velocity. i think they should as the ground is a layer below atmosphere but its not labeled as such clearly in the rules. what do others think?


The other rule is combining close action of groups against the point defence of enemy ships, for the life of me i cant find that rule anywhere. can anyone point it out? (EDIT: I think I found it, it's hidden in the way shooting is resolved. [Allocate ALL dice from group, Roll ALL dice to hit, PD against any close action that happened, roll armour saves, record damage etc...] This make sense? Will leave this in case anyone else wonders the same thing.)

Yeah, the close action thing has been mentioned a few times by Talons on the Hawk forum, and even by the mighty Andy Chambers himself on facebook. Though not clear in the book, the intention is that a GROUP's CAW is combined against a single PD roll.

For the mIlitary guns, I think me and JJ decided to play it as that they can shoot targets in atmosphere; while Corvettes are rare, this helps give strike carriers a weakness.
