Chaff/Flare Dispenser



The Chaff/Flare dispenser is a collective term for all devices, whether integral or attached, used to dispense kinetic countermeasures with the aim of decoying enemy missiles. They are primarily used on military aircraft and helicopters, though interest exists in developing missile countermeasures for ground combat vehicles.

In-Game
If a guided Missile-type weapon is fired at a unit carrying a Chaff/Flare dispenser, the target unit may choose to fire the dispenser and deploy countermeasures. To do this, make a note of the firing, and roll a D6. On a 5+, the missile is successfully decoyed and has no effect. On a 4, the missile still explodes near the unit, but only deals half damage. The dispenser may not be used more times than noted in its capacity on the carrying unit's specifications without being rearmed.
