Any target farther away than that may not be shot by that ship. If you are a Star Ranger player, you will want the dice to come up odd. If a figure is hit in combat, it is dead. Krauts can shoot every turn, whether or not they move. Rangers may not move and fire in the same turn.
All ships can change direction whenever they want to.
To liven up the game, both players may elect to add Asteroids to the combat. If a ship flies behind one of the asteroids, and cannot be completely seen past it, no one may fire on that ship. TO PLAY First, find somethings to use as ships. All kinds of things are available, including some small models of famous starships. Now, find an appropriate surface for play.
