D6 Starfighter Combat

I have incorporated the Starfighter maneuvers from the Rebel Alliance Sourcebook by WEGs into my game.  Whereas before a pilot had three skills to declare (Evade, fire, angle shields), now they have an extra action, Maneuver.

Initiative.  The pilot being tailed must declare his actions first as he is the one at the disadvantage.  the results of any maneuvers are resolved before any other actions take place.  So just because Wedge declares gunnery it doesn't necessarily mean there will be a TIE to shoot at when he gets a chance.  This skill is also used if a Maneuver is performed in a difficult terrain eg. flying through a space city, flying through an asteroid belt

.

The Difficulty Numbers for each Maneuver depend greatly on the type of craft being piloted.  Sharp maneuvers in an A-Wing are a lot easier than in a B-Wing.  So for the difficulty number for a desired craft see the table below.

These Maneuver difficulties can also be used when assigning difficulty numbers for a craft performing maneuvers such as avoiding asteroids or maneuvering down a tight valley.
