Damage Arcs

After determining that a target is in a weapon’s firing arc and range, the player can determine the damage arc. Note that damage arcs are the same as firing arcs on all ships. To determine the damage arc on a target ship, the player notes the target ship’s Type and compares it to the Firing Arcs diagram (see p. 13) to determine which damage arc to use. The player then looks at the target ship on the playing area and visualizes the target ship’s firing arcs extending out until the appropriate arc overlaps the hex on the attacking ship that corresponds to the weapon the player is firing. This overlapping point represents the only Location on the target ship the attacking weapon can strike this turn.
