Had the tree not obscured my Pilot's vision, I would have just left it

It seems that there are penalties for attacking if you're moving, and
also if the unit you're aiming at is moving. -1 per every 6" adds up,
I agree this would have made the battle much different. Having this in
some type of chart would have made it so that we wouldn't have missed
it.

If we do another major cross level TL battle with a castle, I don't

I realized that all I had to do was climb to an altitide of just under
20", hover over the castle and fire away.
