Moral check for fighters.

At what point in the turn sequence do the fighter pilots make a moral check?

Sorry, the errant 'e' in morale just was too great a straight line. It's
been a long day - and the next one starts at 0400 hours again...

Gracias.

Unlike some people on the list I'm going to refrain from the obvious joke
(just this once....)   <GRIN>!!

To answer the question, we've explicitly included this in the turn sequence
list in FB2 now, because it was a point that needed clarification. The rule
is that the test is taken AFTER all point-defence fire against the
fighter
group has been resolved, but before they make their attack - so if they
take any more losses from PDS fire they are even more likely to break off
before completing the attack run.

Assuming you mean "morale check" <g>, after enemy point defence fire but
before they get to shoot themselves.

This wasn't specified in MT or FB1, but FB2 does clear it up.

GZG,

Thank you for the fighter rules clairification, I was looking thru the GZG web
page and found the FB2 but nowhere to order it could you send me the bookmark
for the order page.

Any chance in splitting up the mailing list for GZG into its components
i.e.... FT / SG / DS,  it could cut down the number of email that have
to be sifted thru each day. ( I know I should play all three games..... I just
don't have the time.)

Is GZG running the 1,500 point tourney this year at Gencon, will it be using
FB2 Rules?

Thanks for the excelent game,

As has been said before, every time this comes up people decide that it's not
worth splitting the list. I, for one, play SG2 and FT (and hope to soon play
DS2, which -- ironically -- was the first GZG game I played).

Yes, there is a 1500 point tournament at GenCon this year. We're still
formalizing the rules, but I THINK we may just go with pre-generated
fleets (but everyone will have a choice of several). The personalized fleets
were a bit if a hassle last year.

No, we are not using the FB2 rules. We just don't have enough time to try out
new FB2 based fleets to see if they are balanced against other fleets. Also, a
lot of FT players won't have the new fleet book until they get to GenCon.

Besides, it's more challenging to see what you can do with what's available,
rather than fine tuning every point.
