Aircraft
Aircraft are placed during the flight phase and attack during the airstrike phase. Units attacking Aircraft use their anti-Soldier attacks and get –1 on each attack die.

Antiair
This unit ignores the -1 penalty on each attack die when attacking Aircraft. If an enemy Aircraft is placed in a hex adjacent to this unit, this unit may make a defensive-fire attack against it.

Bombs
Once per game, instead of rolling this unit's attack against an enemy Soldier or Vehicle in the same hex, you can declare you are using bombs. If you do, roll 12 attack dice against enemy that unit if it's a Soldier or 8 attack dice if it's a vehicle.

Antiair

This unit ignores the -1 penalty on each attack die when attacking Aircraft. If an enemy Aircraft is placed in a hex adjacent to this unit, this unit may make a defensive-fire attack against it.

Q: Can an artillery unit without the Antiair special ability attack Aircraft?
A: No. (Comes from the 11/12/2009 Rules update)

Bombs

Once per game, instead of rolling this unit's attack against an enemy Soldier or Vehicle in the same hex, you can declare you are using bombs. If you do, roll 12 attack dice against enemy that unit if it's a Soldier or 8 attack dice if it's a vehicle.

Q: When targeting a Vehicle, does the bomb attack go against the front or rear armor value of the Vehicle?
A: The rear armor, because the plane is in the same hex as the target Vehicle.
