Question: If I am attacking a squadron at long range with a red die, can I use Flak Guns to replace that red die with black and then attack?

Answer: No. When Flak Guns are equipped your ship’s anti-squadron armament is now only black dice, limiting you to close range attacks unless otherwise specified.

Question: When I equip Flak Guns, are my anti-squadron dice always black? or can I decide what colors to use?

Answer: Yes. When you gather dice, you will always gather black dice. The only exception to this is Salvo, as Salvo uses the ships “printed anti squadron armament”.
