[2b] SPEND APs: The player spends any number of APs he/she has in his/her possession for any
number of movements (see section MOVEMENT below) and/or combats (see section COMBAT
below). For every spent AP, one AP counter is discarded back into the cup.

DOGFIGHT MOVEMENT
Movement of one friendly space ship costs 1 AP. The moving space ship must move at least one
square, but not more than its maximum movement capability (see space ship table and the MOV
A free print-n-play game created by Mats Lintonsson column). It may never move diagonally or backwards (thus, only sideways or forward towards the
other player's starting zone) or out of the board edges or into/through an occupied square (i.e. a
square containing any space ship or an asteroid).
The board and counters are found on the next page. Print them and cut the counters. Play and enjoy!

A game is divided into game turns (the two players alternate taking one game turn at a time, starting

The game ends when one of these two scenarios occurs:
[1] DISCARD COUNTERS: The player may optionally discard any number of counters he/she has in
his/her possession back into the cup. - A player's all space ships have been eliminated. The other player immediately wins!

If the player draws a MOVE AST counter, immediately reveal it and randomly select one of the asteroids mats.lintonsson@gmail.com
using the die. Then randomly determine which direction the selected asteroid will move. It may move in mats77 (user-id at www.boardgamegeek.com)
four directions (not diagonally). It cannot move out of the board edges or into a square containing http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/39442
another asteroid. Repeat until successfully moved one square. If the selected asteroid is moved into a http://games.mrdo.se
square containing a space ship, that space ship is eliminated and removed from the board for the rest of
this game. After moving the asteroid, discard the MOVE AST counter back into the cup and continue
this sub-action. The drawing of the MOVE AST counter, counts towards the maximum drawing limit of
three counters.
