Hello again,
Need help with the "alternative means of determining fighter attack dice" table... can someone explain this to me ? I don't understand how the attack dice per flight would be worked out
I think I understand... Are modifiers to fighter attack dice on a per-flight basis? that is, if I have 3 flights of fighters attacking a ship with ECM 1, would each flight get 2 attack dice instead of 3 ?
Also, I'm not clear on the "alternative means of determining fighter attack dice" I am requesting a "walk-through" of this mechanic please!
The "alternative means" is actually just a different way of presenting the same information.
Fighters have an attack dice string of 3-2-2-1-1-1, which is the same as saying "3 dice with no modifier; 2 dice with a -1 or -2 modifier; and 1 die with -3, -4, or -5."
So, you are correct: if you have three flights attacking a target with ECM 1, you would roll a total of 6 dice: each flight starts with 3 dice -- the -1 penalty reduces this to 2 dice each. 3 x 2 = 6.
