So, can we swap our elite pilots to the Stingrays and drop the regulars into the Transit?

Also, mountains terrain has what impact? I assume they stick up into altitude X and make emergency landings difficult. Any other impacts?

The full air lance is being deployed, so all three fighters are being deployed; what pilots fly what is up to you.  With that said, given the Transit has less armor than the Stingrays (and so needs access to Maneuvers) and carries an AC/20, putting a Regular pilot instead of a V/E pilot in there is probably pretty dumb.

And yes, that's how terrain works for aerospace: the elevation level of the terrain is converted to "altitude" levels, making deconstructive lithobraking a possibility if you're careless about movement or go out of control.  No other effects.

Replaced Max Sterling with Lisa Mays (the officer in charge has to be in the scenario).

I am down to play. I have only played Aero once so I am not familiar with all the rulesets for them.

So Paul just volunteered for OpFor, and is NOT driving the unit Dropship.  :D

What do you mean?  It's an in-atmosphere game on a low-altitude map using standard units.  None of the space-based alternate movement stuff should even apply.  I don't see how any book but TW would be used.

Just confirming and making sure Interstellar Operations hadn't thrown any new things in.

Nah, none of that ought to matter until you guys take a contract to kill or capture the CWS Dire Wolf or GBS Leviathan or something.
