MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM NOTES
Roll 1D6 for each incoming Missile Attack. 
On a Roll of 4+ the Missile is destroyed. 
For every 6 spaces a missile has traveled add +1 to hit roll 
(distance lowers chances of a successful missile hit)
For every missile after the 1st one, subtract 1 from hit roll 
(salvoes overwhelm the system)
A single Missile defense system can intercept up to 
3 incoming missile attacks in 1 turn. 

				
WEAPON NOTES: 
Plasma weapons can only be fired once every other turn. 
The Bomb is a self destruct mechanism. All ships in an adjacent space take 6D10 Damage. 
All weapons attack into a 180 degree arc. 
The arc is determined by the ship’s weapon configuration.
Arcs include: (F)orward, (L)eft, (R)ight, and (B)ack. The arcs overlap.

SCENARIOS
Each Fleet will have X number of Hits. 
All Ships will have a full complement of Weapons.
