A pre-game spoiler. Tonight my three friends and I are going to fly two seaters on a smallish 85 x 85 cm mat. Four B firing two seaters starting from each corner and the last man standing wins. To guard against early retirement there is one respawn allowed per player into an Eindecker or Morane depending on whether the pilot is choosing Allied or German planes. Boom cards are instant death, dead players cards are shuffled back into the damage decks, and no altitude or blindspot rules are used.
My thoughts are that everyone will pick a German plane, probably the Hannover or possibly a Roland (because of that 270 degree rear gun arc). I will be very surprised if any Bristol or DH4 planes make an appearance because high speed is going to be difficult to manage given the small mat.
Will I be right? A full post game round will follow.
