I haven't played the game in a while and I plan on teaching a buddy this weekend. I forget how to do the altitude rules. I know each plane has a climb rate in the rulebook but the rules do a poor job explaining it to me. Can someone help? Thank you! :)
Basically when you play a climb card take one climb counter. When you have as many climb tokens as your climb rate you go up one peg of altitude.
When you play a dive card you go down one peg and end up at high speed.
If you immelman you treat the reverse card as if it were a climb card (take a climb token). Don't forget you have to enter fast and exit slow.
You can also Split S which requires you to play a stall instead of a straight before the reverse card. You treat the reverse as a dive card- lose one altitude and exist fast.
Thank you! That has always had me confused. I wish they had a quick reference guide to all this!Quote:

Sorry.... you talking game terms here and saying that you play a stall card after the immel ?Quote:
