Interceptions
Interceptions
Fighters can be deployed to a location on the map within range where they will patrol the adjacent plots. If an air unit tries an air strike against a target within the range of an intercepting unit, the interceptor will fire on the attacker and do damage to it.
If an attacking aircraft enters the defensive radius of more than one patrolling aircraft, the highest strength aircraft is chosen to intercept. The remaining aircraft act in support of the defense by adding +5 to the strength of the main interceptor.
Once combat is resolved with any anti-air ground units and intercepting air units, if the attacking bomber survives, combat is then resolved with the original target. If a fighter is intercepted by another fighter on its way to a ground target, it is forced to only engage the enemy fighter and will not attack the ground target. Bombers do not have this restriction, and will continue to the target if they survives any defending interceptors and anti-air attacks.
