These anti-aircraft weapons are vital for defense
against bombing air units and will be the key

portable you should try to remember to bring
some along as an escort.These become avail-
able with the discovery of Flight.
Mobile SAM
These mobile missile-based anti-aircraft units
become available with Rocketry and will pause
any air-based offensive.These units do not do
well against stealth aircraft,so if your opponents
are going airborne,be sure to adjust by creat-
ing your own superior air force — or protec-
tion from one!
