Thread: Multiple Crew Hits on Two Seaters

  1. #1

    Default Multiple Crew Hits on Two Seaters

    This came up in my game today:
    I was flying an R.E.8. and I drew a damage card with the crew hit symbol. Do I draw which crew member was hit first and then how many hits that crew member took, or do I draw how many hits were taken and then draw which crew member was hit?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Eli

    I was under the impression that the crew damage card is a single hit to a crew member - all you have to do is work out which crew member takes one for the team. I roll a D6 and if its odds the pilot takes the damage, evens the observer.

    If you draw two damage cards with the crew symbol then you work out who takes the damage for each individual cards - if you are unlucky enough for the damage to get to the same crew member then that member is killed, if you are even unluckier and the pilot takes both damage then the aircraft is destroyed.

    Thanks a lot James,
    That's what I had assumed, but I just wanted to check.

    No problem - I'm still coming to terms with the rules myself.

    I'll have to check the new rules, but there is a quick and easy rule in the older versions. When flying a two-seater, a crew wounded symbol with three (3) damage is given to the pilot, anything else goes to the observer. No dice or flipping coins.

    I just use a couple of my bomber crew damage chits, but it is a valid point you make Elijah. Why should we not possibly get both occupants of a two seater hit at the same time, if multiple hits are possible in a big bomber?
