B-17 Damage Effects and Crew Impact Guide

1. This document provides tables detailing potential damage locations, effects, and results when rolling on damage tables for various sections of a B-17 bomber, including the wings, instruments, extinguishers, wounds, frostbite, nose, pilot compartment, bomb bay, radio room, and waist. 2. Effects range from specific systems or components becoming inoperable, to crew members sustaining wounds or dying, to problems like oxygen loss, fires, or control issues that require the plane to abort missions or force crew to bail out. 3. Detailed notes explain various results and effects, how subsequent damage may compound problems, and special rules that apply in certain situations outlined in the game. The tables
