    Default WGF Rules and Accessories rulebook : turn and trenches

    Hello,
    Could anyone write here the sentence concerning the Game Turn and the Trenches of the 2012 Rules & Accessories rulebook ?
    (And post the pictures of the pages if possible).
    Thank you.

    A here are the rules coming from Wings of War rulebooks :

    WOW BURNING DRACHENS
    GAME TURN (page 3) : Each game turn has 3 rounds and each round has a Planning Phase and 3 Movement and Fire Phases.
    TRENCHES (page 9) : Each trench can make a single shot each round.

    WOW MINIATURES
    TURN (page 5) : Each turn has a Planning Phase and 3 Movement and Fire Phases.
    TRENCHES (page 15) : Each trench can make a single shot each turn.

    What I have is:
    Pg 31: Attacking With Trenches
    Each trench card can perform infantry fire once in each phase.
    Infantry Fire
    Infantry fire has no firing arc and can target an airplane that has the center of its base within a ruler of distance from it (including an airplane overlapping the firing card). If there are several possible targets, the player controlling the card chooses among them. The airplane takes an A damage card, regardless of the distance. Ignore the damage points on the card and count only special damage results. Infantry fire never jams.

    also,
    Trenches and Altitude
    When using Advanced Rules, trenches fire as if they were at altitude level 1.
    A trench fires at a range of one ruler if the target airplane is at an altitude of 1, and half a ruler if it is at altitude level 2. The airplane cannot be fired on if it is an altitude level higher than 2.

    Hope this helps.

    I think a lot was confused in translation with BD Simon. Not sure of WOW MINIATURES rules reference given but matches those according to FA,WYB & de luxe WoW rules: "Each turn has a Planning Phase and three Movement & Fire Phases." Which is much clearer.
    2014 RAP p.7 states: "Each turn is composed of four phases: a planning phase, followed by three action phases. Each action phase is further divided into a movement step, and a firing step." Which amounts to the same thing.
    Sam has covered the trenches query.

    Thank you Sam and Dave for your detailed answers.
    It shows that the 2012 RAP rulebook still contains some issues.

    TURN
    Each turn is composed of four phases: a planning phase, followed by three action phases. Each action phase is further divided into a movement step, and a firing step

    ATTACKING TRENCHES
    Each trench card can perform infantry fire once in each phase.


    It means that the infantry can fire once in each phase, so during the four phases of a turn (even during the planning phase), that is an issue.

    To be obvious, the ATTACKING TRENCHES rule should be :
    Each trench card can perform infantry fire once in firing step.

    Would you agree with this point of view ?

    Yes, I would.

    Yes, due to being translated the rules can be taken too literally at times. The latest RAP rules are 2014 which is what I quoted from but that's probably the same as the 2012 version in this respect.
