Anti-Aircraft Gun Wargame Rules

Searchlights are used to illuminate aircraft at night.  When used with a sound detector, the chance to hit with the searchlight is increased by 10%.  The light will attempt to locate the target at the beginning of each phase.  Once it locates a target, it is illuminated for the remaining of the turn.  If the target is not illuminated, then the guns can fire with a 10% chance to hit any target at any altitude that their guns can reach.

 

            Gun combat using radar fire control may be conducted at night or in clouds.  Early radar allows night or poor visibility combat to take place normally out to 1250m.  Improved radar allows combat to take place out to 1250m and gets the radar to hit bonus.  Modern radar allow combat out to the end of the range of the missile.
