Hi,

based on ASCE, p. 55:
  • "After an opponent announces either an Aerospace Light Strike or Light Bombing Attack, the player may reveal their selection of a Defensive Aerospace Support (Light Air Cover) to remove the attack"
  • "After an opponent announces either an Aerospace Heavy Strike, Heavy Bombing, or Strafing Attack, the player may reveal their selection of a Defensive Aerospace Support (Heavy Air Cover) to remove the attack".
Heavy Air Cover cannot be used against Light Strike/Bombing based on wording. Is it an intended situation?

Thanks.

This is being errataed to match AS:CE up with the BMM rules used as a template.  So, the intercept target numbers are:

HEAVY COVER
Light Strike/Bombing Target Number: 9
Heavy Strike Target Number: 5
Strafing/Heavy Bombing Target Number: 6

LIGHT COVER:
Light Strike Target Number: 3
Light Bombing Target Number: 4
Heavy Strike Target Number: 9
Strafing/Heavy Bombing Target Number: 11
