I think either of these options would do fine; I'm not sure which I prefer (perhaps I'll
have to try them out! )
Although, I think that Flak units should just have the 10cm for snap fire (probably),
remember that they still get their special attack against the flyers, which now have to
follow through on their attack runs.
Incidentally, would you think that, in the interests of convenience, Flyers that are
driven off become immune to further fire, or whether they should, instead, still have to
cross the rest of the map, perhaps allowing the opposition further chances to shoot them
down?
