ADDITIONAL DAMAGE
*B = Pilot Blackout – The aircraft must make random movements until Aircrew Check passed (check at start of subsequent moves). Roll d6 for aircraft move where “x” is the current aircraft speed: on 1-2 aircraft executes an
Lx2 turn, on 3-4 an Rx2 turn, on 5-6 it moves directly forward. Aircraft flies Level Flight Maneuver on odd roll and Dive Maneuver on even roll. If Dive, the aircraft must increase all speed possible.
*C = Possible Collision – Choose a random aircraft within 1 hex of the target aircraft; roll for collision as per collision rules but Lucky Hit aircraft does not attempt to evade.
*D = Debris – The nearest aircraft within 3 hexes (if any) in the target's tail arc and at the same TAL or 1 TAL lower immediately suffers a hit with firepower of 2d6 (as if from HMG fire) due to debris from weapons impact.
*E = Possible Ordnance Explosion – Roll a d6 if loaded with heavy weapons (bombs, rockets, torpedoes); on 1-3 the weapons explode. If an explosion occurs, any aircraft within 2 hexes must roll on a Lucky Hit.
*H = Crew Heroic – Take an Aircrew Check; if passed the aircrew has been inspired by events in the battle, from this point forward firing from this aircraft is one Aircrew Skill level better and Ammunition Depletion is one level
worse. For example, a Skilled (+1) crew would now fire as if it were Veteran (+2) but deplete ammunition as if it were a Green (+0) Aircrew. No crew may be better than +3 or worse than +0.
*O = Oxygen System Hit – Roll a d6 if flying at MEDIUM-TOP CAB or above; on 1-3 the oxygen system malfunctions. The aircraft must immediately attempt to exit the board by dive no matter if it is a friendly edge or not.
*P = Crew Panic – No firing until Aircrew Check passed at start of a subsequent move.

After exit, take normal aircrew check; apply the additional modifiers:

FORMATION RULES (C1.0) • -1 if aircraft is damaged
• A formation must consist of at least two (2) aircraft (Formation Leader & Wingmen). If failed, aircraft is damaged for VP purposes (if already damaged then destroyed)
• Formations are determined at the start of the game. If a formation must break-up it If failed by four or more, aircraft is destroyed for VP purposes
