    		Attack Wing

    This Card-Review article was written by Kathy McCracken and was published first on "Decipher's Website (decipher.com)" at Aug 31st, 1999.

    This tactic has several interesting features. First, the more ships you have firing, the higher your ATTACK bonus. Attack with a modest fleet of three ships, and your total ATTACK bonus is 4. Second, it gives an extra DEFENSE bonus to a defending Jem'Hadar attack ship, for a total DEFENSE bonus of 3. But its damage text can be its most useful feature, by allowing you to tailor the casualties that result from the damage you inflict. For each Attack Wing used as a damage marker, your opponent loses a MEDICAL, Exobiology or disabled personnel. Combine this with dilemmas requiring lots of those skills and you can seriously impair your opponent's ability to complete his missions.

    Combo:

    • Attack Wing + Aphasia Device + Stellar Flare: If you had the MEDICAL aboard to cure the Aphasia Device, Attack Wing can pick one or both of them off when the ship is damaged by Stellar Flare. If you didn't...then you can get the disabled personnel.
