  <p>+1 for defensive fire by a functioning power turret (electrical power, hydraulic)</p>

<p>But I'm unsure as to what a "functioning power turret" is? Is that just another term for any of the twin guns(undamaged) on the B-17?, or just the Ball Turret?</p>

One of the modifiers for table 5-6 Bomber Defensive Fire Resolution is:

> +1 for defensive fire by a functioning power turret (electrical power, hydraulic)

But I'm unsure as to what a "functioning power turret" is? Is that just another term for any of the twin guns(undamaged) on the B-17?, or just the Ball Turret?
