(1E2d) All Direct Fire in a given impulse must be completely declared before any dice are rolled. The “engage one target at a time” comment only refers to rolling to hit and allocating damage.

(2D2b) A declared but canceled High Energy Turn does not count as the use of a High Energy Turn (even though the energy was spent), and cannot cause breakdown. It does not count as the one “safe” use.

(4A1) All Direct Fire in a given impulse must be completely declared before any dice are rolled.

(5L1) ORION FIRING ARCS For a few ships, an “LS” or “RS” was inadvertently omit- ted. While the arcs are fairly obvious and marked else- where, this can be confusing. This applies to the following ships: Orion Double Raider (fleet scale), mounts B and C. Orion Dreadnought (squadron scale), mounts Y and Z. Orion Dreadnought (fleet scale), mounts Y and Z. Orion OK6 (squadron scale), mounts Y and Z.
