Correction: CaSAirAttack Tables

We've just discovered an error in Chapter 7 of the Command at Sea second edition rules booklet, which meant that the last few lines of the Dive Bomber and Torpedo Bomber attack tables were missing, depriving gamers of several modifiers. The full tables are shown here, and players can make pen and ink changes to their copies of the rules.
