Suggested Rules
The ace counters provided in this campaign insert should not be used as skilled pilots for any Soviet campaigns before this one. This is to reflect the growing experience of the VVS during the war. It is strongly recommended that the Soviet player use the following rule by Scott Johnson for the 11-2 Sturmovik.
18.8 Air-to-Ground Rockets
18.8.1 Air-to-ground rockets are used to destroy ground targets during the strafing step of the turn. Place a Rockets counter on each aircraft equipped with air-to-ground rockets.
18.8.2 A fighter or light-bomber equipped with air-to-ground rockets may use those rockets to increase the amount of cards drawn during the strafing phase by three extra cards (along with the cards drawn for the aircraft's burst rating).
18.8.3 After the air-to-ground rocket strafing attacks are made, the rockets are expended and the Rockets counter is removed.
18.8.4 If an aircraft loaded with air-to-ground rockets becomes damaged it must jettison the rockets.
Campaign Ace and Aircraft Cards
The insert's card sheets are aircraft and ace cards printed as images. The Sheet One front shows Soviet fighters such as the P-39N Airacobra (Kobra) and Yak-9D (Dal'ny Ostronosyi), in 1943 Fighter and Wingman versions, and the campaign ace cards for Pokryshkin and Rechkalov. The other card sheet faces were not transcribed. The card statistics are not transcribed here; use the printed cards, and apply the ace-counter restriction under Suggested Rules above.
