MOONDRAGON:
Birds of Prey

The original game dealt with the fighting at the start of the Lunar Rebellion of 2032, when improvised ships and weapons were all that was available. This supplement takes us into 2033, as both sides begin to equip with military technology designed for the lunar environment.

New background includes a strategic summary as of September 2033, a brief history of both factions, some fiction, descriptions of combat training and elite squadrons, and an introduction to 18 new vehicles:

• Alpha Colony
  • A-292 Darkwing - "The Duck" is a recon and surgical strike craft
  • A-501 Pharoah - 2-man tactical bomber
  • A-501C Monarch - transport variant of the Pharoah
  • F-100 Starmaster - interceptor
  • F-101 Starfighter - improved Starmaster, with greater weaponry but less range
  • A-203B Rocketeer Wardog - Wardog variant armed with rockets
  • A-203D Wardog - Low-cost "Warpup" second-line fighter
  • A-407B Marshal-Z - Marshal variant, lacking the Paralyzer cannon
  • EA-407 Recon Marshal - surveilance variant
• Lunar Freedom Alliance (LFA)
  • Longbow - modified Dragonfly armed with rockets
  • Grenadier - ground-strike variant of Dragonfly
  • Pegasus - combat transport (improved Horseman)
  • Horseman - lightly armed transport
  • Slingshot - maneuverable fighter (modified drone)
  • Buckshot - "improved" Slingshot
  • Moondragon Trainer - 2-seater version
  • Snapdragon - Moondragon variant with superior forward firepower
  • Bloodhound - reconaissance craft

New rules cover multiple crew members, ground support personnel (including "legendary cook"!), turrets, surveillance, modified missile rules, reverse movement, carpet bombing, ground defenses, internal munitions bays, new pilot skills and disadvantages, and linked weapons. New weaponry includes several types of laser, an electrical surge gun, "slug thrower" machinegun, and rockets and launchers. Added equipment include stall jets and afterburners, new batteries, airbags, targeting systems, ejection pod, homing beacons, missile damper, scramblers, and flash generator.

Mission rules cover several two new types of engagements (target reconaissance and suppression of enemy air defenses), with revised random mission charts. Also included is Dawn Raid, a mini-campaign composed of five linked scenarios.

Also included are rules errata and clarifications, and some (brief) advice on tactics.
