(Answered) Abstract Space Combat Range Questions
« on: 09 January 2014, 10:59:34 »
I have some questions regarding the Abstract Space Support rules, found in StratOps, pg. 308(Can't believe I never saw these before!).

Can units that win the air-to-air(space-to-space) control roll choose Capital range bands in addition to standard ones?

In fights where at least one unit possesses capital weapons, is the range if neither succeeds Capital Long or Standard Long?

While it seems safe to assume that normal or even Capital weapons ranges all fall well within a single radar zone, is it possible to use bearings-launched capital missiles to attack units in other zones?

Thanks!

This will be expanded upon in a future product, but for now, treat Capital and standard range bands as identical for abstract space support purposes - Capital Long is the same as standard Long.
