Random Air Support

[sfcmikej]

I have played with air support but I think this is the first with random air support, or semi-random as the number of aircraft are pre-determined. E7.2 says you roll for random air during your rally phase and you have to roll less than the turn number. The air support is placed onboard in his next MPh. I read this to be the same player turn as the turn he rolled and received it. So if he rolls a 2 on turn 3 and gets the air support they are placed on board during his MPh of turn three. However, I think it could also be interpreted that his "next" MPh is turn 4. Can anyone confirm?

No if they arrive on turn 3 they appear in the movement phase of turn 3.
They can then go into CC with enemy aircraft that turn but cannot attack ground targets until the enemy movement phase.

Thanks Vinnie.
