Fighters are fairly easy to defend against, though - the FOR designs on
the web is a good example :-/ Particularly if you use the fighter
morale rules, of course.

That one is a very old problem - well, ever since MT was published,
anyway. There's still no really good way to stop it... fighters can thin them
out considerably, but they usually only get one shot against
a high-speed missile strike.

That one is fairly easy to counter, though :-/

Where were your Interceptors? (Well, OK, standard fighters work pretty
well against Attack ones too, but Interceptors are extremely good -
especially when all the enemy squadrons are stacked together :-) )
