[FT] AAR and Re: RE-[FT] Starfire...

> Now B may use secondary movement to disengage from the dogfight. >If

No, the other way around: A gets a free shot at B. The side which does *not*
disengage gets a free shot at the side which does disengage.

> If Group B reenters a dogfight with group B, all fire in the dogfight

Group B dogfights itself? <g> Should be "If Group A reenters..."

It's becoming hilariously obvious just how often I'm filtering out typoes. 'I
knew what they meant.'

Not that I don't depend on other folks to occasionally mind-read my
posts, of course.

Here's an odd thing, though: If there's only *one* squadron per side in the
dogfight, they fire simultaneously according to FT2 p.17.

However, if at least one side has *more* than one squadron involved in the
same furball, the sides take turns firing one squadron at a time and apply the
damage immediately(...)

Funny, I thought it was on purpose. I know I've not been in many large
furballs, and assumed the far more common mano y mano, or squadron y
squadron, would be run faster/simpler. I don't have the book handy; how
is order worked? Numerically superior shoots first? How about if dead even?

Course, at this point, I'm expecting to hear how everyone else ALWAYS has
multi-squadron dogfights...

The Bugs didn't use SBMHAWKs in IDG.

Funny, if this were another list to which I subscribe, Legends of Galactic
Heroes, we'd be hearing spoiler-warning calls. ;->= Course, as you know,
I won't read IDG until it's finished, and none of us should be holding our
breaths. Last word from Baen on Sept 22? *sigh*

Could be, but only Jon knows what that purpose actually was :-/

The player who won the initiative shoots first. Not sure if he gets the
first shot in *each* multiple-group dogfights (in case you have several
going on at once) or if he just gets the first fighter-on-fighter shot
overall.

Not *always*, but fairly often - especially when one side has numerical
fighter superiority but the other has loaded up on interceptors.

"In Death Ground" is finished, and was published in 1997. It's the sequel,
"The Shiva Option", which isn't, and I haven't said that the Bugs won't use
SBMHAWKs in that novel... they might, and then again they might not <g>

What you say sounds similar to saying "I won't read the Honor
Harrington series before it's finished" :-/
