Recently bought this and have a few questions. The aircraft contact rating,the rules say this is usedwhen rolling on the Dogfight table for the first time. How is it used? Do you roll this number of dice instead of 2 ? Also, is this used every time you make a fresh roll on the Dogfight table, as opposed to remaining in the dogfight, when Manoeveur is used? Replenishing bonus dice, after rolling on Fire table, hitting, and carrying on, i see no mention of replenishing bonus dice. Is this correct? Contact table, where it says +1/2 to score, does this mean + to dice passed, or + to d6 roll if 2d passed? Finally, why are there no 1 counters on the sheet? Presumably both aircraft damage and Rep can be 1.

Here goes. Recently bought this and have a few questions. The aircraft contact rating, the rules say this is used when rolling on the Dogfight table for the first time. How is it used? Do you roll this number of dice instead of 2 ? Correct, could have been a bit clearer.
Also, is this used every time you make a fresh roll on the Dogfight table, as opposed to remaining in the dogfight, when Manoeveur is used? No, only the first time you meet the enemy. Replenishing bonus dice, after rolling on Fire table, hitting, and carrying on, i see no mention of replenishing bonus dice. Is this correct? Correct, you replenish when return to Matching Up (page 2) or if by a Chance Card. Contact table, where it says +1/2 to score, does this mean + to dice passed, or + to d6 roll if 2d passed? Those are modifiers to your 1d6 roll to determine how many enemy you met. So I pass 2d6 versus PEF Rep of 4. I then roll a 3 and add 1 as I am on a Deep Patrol. This makes it a 4 = Same number as your group.Finally, why are there no 1 counters on the sheet? Presumably both aircraft damage and Rep can be 1. Yep and when they are, no Card is needed as the next hit they will die or crash and are removed from the board. Hope this helps.
Ed.

So just to clarify - the Contact rating is the number of dice you roll on the very first Dogfight table roll of a game, and only then? For the rest of the game you roll 2D6.
And when does the Manuever rating count? The table implies that the first time you roll it's not used - only if you get a draw and have to remain on the table, in which case it then applies. is that correct?
What happens if you are sent back to the Dogfight table by the Burst or Continue On table? Do you count the Manuever bonus the first time you roll, or only if the aircraft tie?
