Subject: RE: [FT] Replenishing Fighters (was: Tug Confusion)
At the risk of informing my NAC opponent; For the La Fayette campaign, I
specifically spent extra points on transports (standard Fleet Auxiliary from
FB) & replacement fighters & SMLs. Mass requirements were base (6 mass per
squadron), but I still had to pay points (a lot of points, actually!). Even
so, the biggest problem is replacement pilots. Due to the nature of fighter
ops, I'm actually carrying nearly as many replacement fighters as I originally
started with, but I expect to start running out of pilots towards the end of
the game. For the game, both sides use the following chart, but you do need to
have appropriate replacements available.
Fighter recovery rules: roll 1 die for each fighter;
1-3: pilot killed, fighter destroyed
4-5: pilot recovered, fighter destroyed
6: pilot recovered, fighter recovered (just needs some duct tape). Each
squadron has 3 replacement pilots.
