Fighters in Ambush

[Howarth]

In the ambush scenario how do fighters react to the first round of an ambush?
A: If they are escorting
B: If they are flying alongside the ships

Any help would be appreciated.

I would play it as follows:

A: If they are escorting

They may intercept fighters attaking the ship they are escorting and act as interceptors for said ship if they wish.

B: If they are flying alongside the ships

Nothing, unless enemy fighters chose to engage them in a dogfight.

It specifically says in the scenario special rules that all defending fighters act normally

Can you quote the rule for those of us whose books don't mention fighters at all in that scenario? I'm interested to know how it's really supposed to happen.

[Da Boss]

thats pretty much it:

Under scenario rules - last part:

"The defending players fighters may all act normally."
