Original publishing of Assault Rifles question + more .
I couldn't find publishing information in ADQ Index from 10/10 - did Assault Rifles originally appear in Uncle Albert's 2038 Calendar ?
I can't locate either of my copies to check the rules as first presented ? Also what is the complete list of items in the Calendar ? I recall a number : X-Ray Lasers , Heavy X-Ray Lasers , Blast Cannons , Cycle Windshells , Sloping and Streamling . Can't remember any others offhand , so any help with them would be nice :-)

Having the UA Calendar is useful, as it defines what constitutes "airborne" for SAMs; this info did not make it into future publications.

Thanks Guys ! :-D I knew I could rely on someone here to know .
What is the actual definition of 'Airborne Targets' then ? It's so long ago I can't even recall the basics from the Calendar ?

I've already got two copies , just can't locate them ...
Also it won't download to my basic smartphone ... my only internet access at home . I've previously had to download at local Library & then print out hard copies - not an option at moment due to closer of local ones ... :-(
