AA SW with Blue/Green numbers on To Hit

[Jack Ruetty]

Rule 1.6.6 states AA SW with Blue/Green numbers on To Hit "can only be Fired at fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters". Does this mean they cannot be fired at Leg units or Vehicles?

Just fired a blowpipe at a squad in the digital version. Want to see if it is an error before reporting.

I would report it. AA support weapons should be able to fire at ground units.

As per 1.6.6., AA SW can only attack fixed-wing aircraft and helicopter. AA WT can attack Leg units and vehicles even if they only have blue/green numbers on their To-Hit table. Remember though that, to be able to attack Leg units, you need a HE equivalent on the front of the counter (something a Blowpipe does not have)

Forgot completely about the HE equivalent. Thanks for reminding me. Just emailed Tom about the two I reported here (TM of +5 and the AA SW firing) and had an AI Chaplin pick up a SW today. The digital game rules are getting tighter and tighter. Finding less bugs all the time.

Thanks for the help guys.
