Hello Gottardo. Purchased and printed a copy of your game today. Was seeking a clarification. In the Fighter Combat table, some die roll results show an effect: -1 enemy/ -1 escort. What does the forward slash signify? Do I reduce both the enemy and escort by 1 or do I get to choose which one to reduce? If so, why would I want to voluntarily choose to reduce my escort if given the choice? Thanks for your answer.

Hi, in this case you must reduce both the Enemy AND Escort by 1. I'll think about add a clarification in the rules or changing the sheeet to make it more clear.

Thank you for your prompt response. Usually we associate the '/' with OR. So a clarification will be highly appreciated.

Had another query. In the enemy attack, it says if the result is greater than DV we take damage equal to the coloured die, which is quite clear. But it also says if the coloured die is (4-6) reduce enemy by 1 and if coloured die is 1 reduce formation by 1. Again is this enemy or formation reduction in addition to the damage taken or am I missing something? Regards.

In the Events section, Enemy check and AA Fire, what is the value of X for these? Is it the existing number of enemies for the enemy check or something else? For AA you need to add X to the die rolls, but what is it?

Edit - realised it is marked on the mission sheet. Probably needs a line to explain that in the manual. Was confusing.

See the "Events Phase" section of the rules for more details. In summary, for the Enemy Check X is compared with a single dice roll to increase the enemy presence, while for AA fire X is used as a modifier to the 3d6 roll.

Is there any plans to include the whole game into the Vassal Module or just the one battle and plane?

The Vassal module already includes the whole game: you can change the plane (and the map) by right clicking on it and selecting one of the menu choices. I'll add a help text to the Vassal module to clarify this.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
