1982e Range/FP Effectiveness for flex guns?

[Steven D. Page]

I have a 1982 copy of Dawn Patrol, and am just moving up to the advanced rules, and two-seaters. I can’t find anything indicating how to use the hit table for flex guns, except for the deflection modifiers. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Also, how does the use of twin mount flex guns differ from single mounts, other than having a back-up should one gun jam?

Hi Steve.
For observer gun(s), use the deck gun table and the range of attack and shift down one table for effect (ie from K to J for 2 guns or H to G for single gun)

Thanks! I’ve got three basically new players trying the game out Saturday night. I’m running the intro scenario with “programmed” DH4s (I’m using five) against three German fighters. It should be a good way to “get their feet wet”. The flex gun info will be a huge help.
