Hey,
How about developing a house rule for a stand off weapon that can be
used for AT against war engines and tanks. You'd need a stand that could
do the designating. For that I would suggest the Scouts. Then give each
flyer two AT shots. The loadout for teh flyers has to be determined
before the start of the battle. How many sorties normal FP rolls and how
many carrying standoff AT weapons.
