I normally use double decks even with just two planes a side. Next week I have a large game on and may have to resort to adding a third deck, but will see how far two decks take me.
How many damage decks do you use?

We usually manage to cope with a single deck with only 4-5 aircraft in play, but we have used double decks occasionally.
I quite often use one in a 4 aircraft game but have recently upped it to a double deck at the club where the chaps have now got used to handling more aircraft - seems to cope with up to eight aircraft quite comfortably; we shuffle the downed combatants cards back in too. I should think a third deck would be ample for most big occasions !

Only one deck, even playing with six "A" firing planes.
We now use limited ammo - so we stay with one deck.

I use one deck for 2 planes.
We usually play out of the deluxe box so it is a double deck.
Didn't know that the "A" deck from the Deluxe Set is a double one...
(Bought the cardgame Famous Aces January 2012)
Ok, we use one "A" damage deck from the Deluxe set, too.

I use one deck for up to planes and haven't run out yet. I believe that is also the guideline from various sources (1 deck per 4 planes).
I have only used one deck per plane so no problem.
In my deck dealing box I have three of each deck at all times.

I like two decks... pretty much all the time
OK, having just spent two days doing the Blue Peter thing, Kyte uses something cooler. Where did you get the box and was it modified?
I have a double "A" deck, 2 x "B" decks, 1 x "C" & 1 x "D"
The other chaps at the Club also have Decks so we never run short!
I am curious too, that would stop the kids in my school club getting things mixed up so much...Originally Posted by Belis4rius

The box came from Hobbycraft, and I then cut pieces of acrylic to make the dividers, slit the joints with a junior hacksaw, put it together with Plastic Weld and Bob's your Aunty.

That's so cool
Off to HobbyLobby....oh wait, that's right. They're a family-friendly company that's closed on Sundays
(boy, I wish there were more like them).
Monday then.

Sorry Rob; I've maxed out on giving you rep points, so I'll just have to offer you a round at the OC

We only use one damage deck both A & B normally we do not run out of cards, but on the odd occasion we have, all plane are assumed to have run out of ammo the players with the most planes left on the table wins. Or the one occasion when it was even the game was declared a draw.
Did I hear a free drink being mentioned Karl.That's so cool

To the bar.

Generally we use 2x 'A', 2x 'B', one 'C' and one 'D'. Though with more players we have used 3x 'A'. We use limited ammo and jot down our damage and return cards to the deck.
Most of the time a double A and B, but have used up to 4 of each in a 6 player game. But we use 12 cards in our ammo pile, so we get lots of shooting.
Excellent work their ol son, but I am going to stick to the Blue Peter stuff, much safer for these shaky old hands.
