Tactical Nuke with 1D4+1 blast radius. Is that a planet buster? 1D4+1
mean a maximum of 1.25 light second blast radius or a sphere with a
diameter of 750,000km. The Earth is around 14,000km in diameter. I
think Tactical nukes should be one hit one kill weapon. No blast
radius, no damage radius. Also, Fighters should have an attack range
of 1 or 0. Since, all fighter attacks have been within visual range.
I think converting GDW's BattleRider rules would be alot more
realistic.
