Do AA guns go off before the dogfight?

[Galactic Fatt Patt]

That is what we need to know.

Yes, AA guns go off at the end of movement.

AA guns cannot fire at air units that are dogfighting, but can shoot at all unengaged enemy air units (if they are in range and have the AA dice to expend doing so).

thanks, do crits happen on only natural 6's?

 

[Ben2]

I originally thought that AP meant a crit on 5 or 6 and super AP on 4,5 or 6.

However I went and physically asked Mat who confirmed it is just natural sixes.

thanks, that makes a world of difference. We keep trying to compare things to B5

Yes, AA guns go off at the end of movement.

Actually, they are fired at the start of the Attack phase (Rulebook P.15)

Effectively the same thing, I know, but that may change in future.
