Hey everyone, Just picked up the Board version of A & A last nite for me and the wife to play and we are having a hard time fuguring out some things.

1. Example = When you upgrade a fighter to a Jet through research it’s defence becomes a 5. What is the advantage of this when you go to battle if in effect it is making it easier for the attacking player to hit. If it is a normal fighter they have to roll a 4 or less which if I am correct means that any roll except a 5 or 6 will kill it. But if it is a Jet then they only have to roll anything but a 6 and it is killed. I see no advantage to making it a jet instead of a fighter.

2. When you use a rocket against a industrial facility how do you know how much damage was done? Do you roll a dice then that amount is placed into the bank by the defending player?

Thanks for any help it is greatly appreciated.
