Starfox'sWings of Honor

Slow Craft

Certain craft in the game are so slow that they have no speed rating. This applies mainly to zeppelins, but also to trains, ships and such. Such vehicles can still move one square at the very end of a turn, but only if the captain makes a roll.

There are no consequences of failing such a roll.

Movement direction is usually forward only. A zeppelin or ship that is printed on the map is not moved; instead all planes on the map is moved in the opposite direction. A train moves along it's track, a car or bike along a road, though they can turn at will. Only a horseman or runner moves freely.

The roll is:

8 Base Target Number
+ Speed of the Slow Craft
(always zero or negative, greater negative value increase the difficulty)
Pilot's Nautal Touch skill.
+2 Pilot stunned.

Slow craft have a speed rating that is either zero or negative.
Take the craft's maximum speed, and read it on the table below.
