Some designer's notes to help the testers: The idea here is that
the Swedes should be able to stick around longer, by going for a
farther target, strafing etc, but in doing so risks more trouble
as more enemies show up. Any changes that you think reinforce
this narrative are welcome.

Am I overlooking something obvious? I don't see the ADCs for the
J 9, B 5, or J 20.

Check the card backs. J20 is the Re.2000, J9 is the P-35. B5 is
the A17A. Since the ADC doesn't specify it, there should be a
special rule that the B5 is allowed to steep angle bomb.

Derp! OK, got it. Thanks Elias. BTW, special rule 6 does give
the B 5 squadron the Speed Brakes ability, as in virtual speed
brakes through special training. So that implies Steep Angle
attacks are allowed.

OK, I didn't know it was there already :-)
The Swedish Air Force tried to dive bomb with EVERYTHING.
Sometimes to the horror of the the airframe manufacturer :-)

I bet that kind of flying voided the warranty.
Meanwhile, the J 20 reminds me that I want to write a scenario
featuring the Re.2000 versus the Roc, called "C'mon und Roc me,
Amadeus"

They put skis on the Gladiator and sent them into vertical to
see if they held together. They didn't. The test pilot decided
the aircraft was too valuable to waste and decided to land with
one ski instead of parachuting. Picked the wind direction to get
more lift under the wing that lacked landing gear. Managed to
land on one ski and slide about half the stopping distance on it
before the broken gear hit the ground. Minor damage to the
aircraft. That pilot deserves a veteran rating.

That card should be a bonus gift to the first 100 purchasers.
