MC: Helo vs Helo opportunity fire - LBouton - 11-30-2008

Just curious. Defending Helos can engage moving helos in opportunity fire....but the moving helos can't engage the defending helos...an asymmetry?

I don't believe that is how it works??? Check the unit ratings, to fire at a helo, either as the moving unit or using opp fire requires a unit with an AA rating and a range of 1 or higher. In at least some of the games, some units have an AA rating or range of 0 and they can't fire at helos (in the air I assume, on the ground the unit is a very vulnerable normal unit).

I am in a D'85 game and have fired my helos at other helos frequently, during my movement phase, and get return defensive fire too, based on the above.
