Aerospace - Fixed Wing

---

There are three fixed-wing aircraft currently available, Bombers for air-to-ground damage, Fighters for air-to-air engagements, and Heavy Air Transports for logistical transportation. All fixed wing aircraft must land at designated Airfields. Additionally, all Aerospace assets have access to Orbital Movement.

Bomber

FS 6, Speed 4 , Range 0 (Must Fly Over Target) d6 Cluster Ordnance

• Access to Air Strike Unique Order Type. Allows bombers to do a direct damage attack against a specified target.
• MUST LAND AND REARM AFTER ANY ATTACK. Requiring landing and use of 1 Supply.
• Landing is limited to Proper Airfields only

Fighter

FS 6, Speed 6, Range 1, d6 against Air Units

• Hold Position or Advance - Will Intercept and engage enemy air units on contact as priority. Will fly “CAS” Close Air Support, offering +2 bonus against a single enemy ground unit when friendly infantry are rolling for damage if no air units are in the area to intercept. (Note that aerospace orders will be reworked shortly, and will probably have designated order types for CAS, CAP, etc.)
• MUST LAND AND REARM AFTER ANY ATTACK. Use of 1 Supply.
• Must land at Proper Airfields.

Heavy Air Transport

FS 3, Speed 5, No Weapon

• Paradrop Infantry and light vehicles, infantry / light vehicles can exit in flight.
• Must not be under Maneuver Order Type for troops / Light Vehicles to para-exit.
• Can Carry 5 Infantry, 2 Vehicles, and 5 Supply
• Must land at Proper Airfields only, unless fitted with upgrade allowing landings at Makeshift Airfields. - WIP upgrade discussed by Shack

Aerospace - VTOLs

---

VTOL craft are currently all Aerospace units with access to orbital movement (Possible that the Little Bird will be an exception). The defining feature of VTOL craft is the ability to preform Vertical Takeoff and Landing, allowing all VTOLs to land in any open space, without need for an Airfield.

Heavy VTOL

FS 6, Speed 3, Armour 1, No Weapons

• Carry 1 MBT, functional or disabled, or smaller vehicle unit.
• Can’t carry infantry units. Can’t carry a vehicle holding an infantry unit, such as a IFV or a Logi Truck.
• Can lift Supply packaged by engineer players. Up to 3 Supply. Uses up a full engineer's speed to package a supply box. Teamwork!

Little Bird

WIP unit, possibly atmo limited

VTOL

FS 4, Speed 3, Armor 1, Range 1, D2 Nose Gun

• Carry 1 infantry unit or 1 Supply
• Can join nearby unit's engagements with the D2 Nose Gun, ground or air

Ground - Vehicles

---

Ground Vehicles all share several properties. First is the Hit system, with any amount of damage dealing 1 Hit, this, often combined with high armour values, makes it so Vehicles can take more damage than any other unit. The second shared property is the Subsystem system, whereupon being dealt damage from a D6 source that rolled a 5 or a 6, part of the vehicle will become nonfunctional, on a 5 it is the source of locomotion (wheels, legs, tracks), on a 6 it is the primary weapons system. Third, vehicles can be abandoned by their crew, leaving the player with a 3 FS non-combatant Ground Crew unit that can repair subsystems, or ditch the vehicle to escape and potentially take control of another. Fourth, as all ground vehicles use hits, they can be repaired by engineers at a cost of 1 Supply per hit repaired. Fifth, destroyed vehicles that were abandoned by their crew can be salvaged at cost of 1 Supply by engineers to bring them back at 1 Hit.

Infantry Fighting Vehicle

Logistical Truck

1 Hit, Speed 3, No Weapon

• Can carry 2 units of infantry or 2 Supply and Tow 1 unit of either artillery or disabled friendly ground vehicle
• Gains +1 Speed on roads
• 1 Hit and no armour means that any damage will kill you instantly. Don’t get hit. Have someone between you and the enemy

Main Battle Tank

• Targets Enemy Armour as priority.
• Best Armour Penetration

• Can dig Trench lines, lay razor wire, setup tank traps at the length of 1 grid length per round. Mark locations on map. These can be zig-zagged. Remember: facing matters
• See Player Built Structures for structure details

Ground Crew

Force Strength 3, Non-Combat Unit.

Infantry

---

Currently, there are only stats for base infantry, sidegades that switch the base mechanics of the unit (PAI, SF, etc.) will go here, upgrades that swap FS for functionality (Stinger, HMG, AT4, etc.) will be found under Upgrades

• Can enter structures for a defence bonus.
• Damage Max goes down as Force Strength takes damage.

Orbitals

At this point orbitals are being banished to their own page, Orbital Mechanics are going to be completely different, so for now all orbital references will be sent to [[Orbitals]]
