.TH Command ITACTICS
.SY "itactics <COUNTRY> <RATIO> <ADD>"
With the `\*Qitactics\*U' command you can tune the number of
your fighters that will rise to intercept foreign intruders.
Normally, the number of your planes that rise to intercept is
equal to the number of enemy aircraft plus one.  There may be
times, however, when you would prefer to launch more, fewer,
or even no aircraft.  The `\*Qitactics\*U' commands lets you
do this on a per-country basis.
.s3
If used with no parameters, `\*Qitactics\*U' simply reports the 
current intercept tactics settings.  For example,

.EX it
.NF
INTERCEPT TACTICS
    intruder       ratio plus
  2 Krev            0.25    2
  3 Aarrgghh        5.00    0
  4 SnowBack        0.00    5
  5 Ice Barbarians  0.00    0

.FI
The number of interceptors that you will launch is computed by taking
the number of intruder aircraft, multiply by the `ratio' value, add
the `plus' value, and then truncating the results to a integer.  In
the example, if we see 10 intruders incoming, we would try to send up
either 4 fighters, 50 fighters, 5 fighters, or nothing at all (depending
on whether the intruders belong to Krev, Aarrgghh, SnowBack, or Ice
Barbarians).
.s3
If you specify a country name or number <COUNTRY>, but no additional
parameters, just the values for that country are listed.
.s3
If you specify both <COUNTRY> and a ratio <RATIO>, you will set the
intercept tactics for intrusions by that country.  You will be prompted
for a <PLUS> value if you don't supply it on the command line.
.s3
To globally set identical `ratio' and `plus' values for all countries,
specify an asterisk `*' as the <COUNTRY> parameter.
