Hover Sub-type
(Rule)Description: A Flyer with the Hover sub-type must declare whether it is going to Zoom or Hover before it moves, and before any Embarked models Disembark, each Movement phase. This means that if the Flyer arrives from Reserves, you must declare which type of Movement it is using before placing it on the board. If a Flyer is in a Squadron, all Vehicles in the Squadron must choose the same type of Movement A Flyer in Hover mode cannot switch to Zoom mode if it is Immobilised.
If a Flyer is Hovering, it is treated exactly as a Skimmer (see page 214).
